The heavy demands of the game may be resulting in overheating. The sound
may be an alarm.

Make sure the fan(s) on your computer are spinning. On many tower cases
there is a fan in the power supply located near the top of the
computer's back surface. Many tower cases also have a fan mounted on the
CPU inside the computer. If opening the case will not void your
computer's warranty / service contract the CPU is normally visible near
the top of the main circuit board once the left panel (when looking at
the front panel) is removed. Some notebook/laptop computers have a small
fan visable on the back of the computer.

You can check your fan speeds, CPU tempreture and many other factors in
your system with monitoring applications similar to Everest Home
