Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. I built my own gaming pc about 2 months ago. See the build specs above. Over the last few weeks, I've noticed 4 beeping sounds while playing Overwatch. I don't hear this sound while using my computer in any other manner; only during gaming sessions. With that said, I've played Tomb Raider and Hellblade without running into the issues. It only seems to pop up during Overwatch. At first I thought it was part of the game, but now I think something else is at play. Potentially an issue with temperatures or the PSU. I'm new to PC building and at a loss over how to diagnose/troubleshoot this issue.
List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. I've installed temp monitoring software; both HWMonitor and CAM. The highest temps I've seen for my GPU are around 74 and CPU around 55. I've noticed my motherboard displays a code of 30, 40 or AO. I know AO is the optimal code but it doesn't appear as if 30/40 are very alarming. Both seems to be codes displayed after the computer wakes from sleep.
Provide any additional details you wish below. If anyone could please help me out with next steps, I would be forever in your debt. I'm scared of doing damage to some of my hardware by continuing to game on it, while at the same time, I'm completely clueless as to how to solve this issue.
