My comp recently has had trouble getting out of sleep mode. When this happens i need to power off, then power on. When i power on, its like a 90% chance that i get a failed attempt: 1 long beep, 3 short beeps. When this occurs i see that the GPU light on on mobo is red. (havent pulled the case out of its position to see if there are other red lights)

Also, in HEARTHSTONE specifically, whenever the game has found an opponent today, Everything freezes besides sound. (It used to freeze only for up to 10 seconds.)

lastly, when i'm browsing the web and i click on another tab or click on something on the webpage. i also get freezes, sometimes temporary sometimes permamnent.

So yea, currently have a 6970 2gb. Also have a i5 2500k. My build is from the time that the i5 2500k was released. Any chance that this is an ssd issue? HELP. THANKS. =)
