Computer keeps beeping when reaching 90-100% cpu usage..

[Bec]

My intel i5 4590 3.30ghz when playing gta v or sometimes black ops 3 and h1z1 keeps beeping after awhile of playing and its really annoying me. I dont think its beeping because of the usage though i believe its because of the temps it reaches as it gets to about 67-70 degrees after awhile... could someone help? ive got the stock cooler on it and a gtx 970 and 8gb of ram and windows 10

Sometimes the motherboard has warning temps set by default for component temperatures. The first thing I would do is look at the motherboard manual and see if there are BIOS settings to adjust.

is it safe to run at 70 degrees??

that is a scary stock temp reading what was your computer doing when you got this temp reading?

This is critical and should not be ignored.

I'm assuming it's a Gigabyte motherboard or similar?

Their BIOS have a whole bunch of "beep producing" settings under the "PC Health Status" section, including processor max temperature and different fan failures.

Do you know the beep pattern? Such as long. short, short, short... repeat.

Continuous Hi-Lo Beeps = CPU Overheating

It's most likely warning that the CPU fan has failed and/or it can't keep the motherboard cool. Pretty such it's saying, stop what you are doing, save your work, and shutdown so I can cool off and not damage myself.

Under BIOS - you might have temperature alerts setup, you can adjust these or turn them off, but it's best to keep the temps low if possible.

Ensure CPU fan is spinning and there's enough airflow inside the case. Feel around the back of the PC case, is it hot air? Make sure it isn't hot pocketing (recycling around the rear, back into the graphics card area). Have a gap behind the case for the hot air to escape. Avoid having the PC case on carpet, rather have it raised up on a wood/glass panel.

If dust build up around the fans/heatsinks, clean it out with a can of compressed air (you can get from most computer stores pretty cheap and does a great job).

If all else fails, it might be thermal paste on the CPU needs to be redone. This would require taking off the stock cooler. I would suggest getting a third party (better) one while at it. However, leave this for last as it's a bit of work.

it is a gigabyte z97p-d3 and it beeps for a bit then stops then starts again or just beeps and doesnt stop
