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

A warning really does not exist just to be ignored. If one is
sure what is the cause of the warning and feels comfortable at
not fixing the problem or even the threshold for the warning,
then let it be. If one does not know the cause, then by all
means, find it and fix it.

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.

I would say its a pretty good bet. If you have the software, try doing
some video encoding or other cpu intensive stuff. Ignore the warnings
people have given you here and you'll be shopping for a new tower in no
time!

The warnings are there just to annoy you. They do not mean anything. They
are included only so that someone named "Jimmy" can have a job writing codes
to make your computer beep at you.

You should never "ignore" warnings. If the oil light in your car comes on,
and you continue to drive the car, do you think it will cause more damage?
Why should your computer be any different?
Your computer is not cooled properly. When you play full screen games,
either your computer processor or your graphics processor is getting hot.
Heat is not a good thing. If your computer is not
thermally protected (designed to automatically shut itself off when it gets
too hot); and you ignore the warning beeps and continue to use it, then yes,
you have damaged it.

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
