my screen freezes AND THE ALARM SOUNDS and I have to turn the computer off &
on again to get it going again I want to know WHY this keeps happening and by
turning the computer off like this all the time is any harm being done to it.
I want to know HOW to repair it easily and how do I PREVENT this. I have
antivirus and I am up to date with updates.

Many motherboards have an overheating alarm. If it's that, you'll have to
fix whatever the problem is, possibly a fan that quit working.

could it be anything else? Or could it be the fan anyway? The screen
goes black at the same time and sometimes when ending a session the
screen says ending programme saving your settings..... what do think?
