At home I have a brick wall in my living room. I covered it with wall
paper with pictures of bricks on it, just so I would be the only one
that knew. I tell visitors to touch it, it feels real.

Overheating could destroy the CPU or graphics accelerator chips. If it
IS an overtemp warning you should NOT ignore it.

Check your computer's tempretures, and many other functions, with a
utility like Everest Home Edition (free for home users) from

It has any chances of being overheating? Because it only beeps when i play
the game. When i close the game it Automatic stop beeping.

Read the documentation that came with your computer. There should be
mention of the various beep signals that can be produced by the
computer and what they mean.

A beep signal that happens while the computer is running usually means
that the computer is overheating. However, depending on just what
sort of monitoring utility is present and how it is configured it
could also mean that a voltage was too low or too high, indicating an
overloaded or failing power supply in the computer.

Good luck
