SOURCE: booting problem
id say its ram but you need to try some other ram to test
can you use another hard to install windows onto and then try the game again , if it works its a driver issue , if it dosnt it is most likely ram.
hope this helps

Hi,
There are two harware you should check,
First the memory, it might be malfunctioning, if you have an extra memry card, try to swap it just to test the syatem.
Second will be the power supply unit or PSU, that is already overheating and shutting itself down, thus its not powering the your hard disk. try to replace it if you have an extra PSU.
Those are the most probable problem you have, PSU is the main problem in any desktop that was always been overlooked!
Hope that helps you out!
Thanks for using Fixya!

This sounds like either a case of graphical artifacting, or your pc is simply crashing.
Graphical artifacts are things not normally seen on your monitor created by overuse of the graphics card, such things as white pigments and the odd pixel patterns you saw are some signs of this. I've experienced this problem, and have had the speakers make the noise you heard noise upon restarting the pc. To see if this is the cause I would try running an extremely graphically intensive game or program such as a 3D benchmark to test the limits of the graphics card, and if you see the odd pixelation during the testing, then it is most likely that the card is the problem, and you should call its manufacturer for a replacement.
If your pc is simply crashing then either your power supply is not putting out enough power for you graphics card, or the graphics card is not hooked up to the motherboard properly. The first to do to check if this is the case is to run your pc until it crashes and see how hot your pc has gotten, if it is very hot, then your power supply could be overloaded, or you may not have enough airflow in the case. I would suggest opening your pc and looking for anything out of place, and even perhaps getting professional help from a technology store.
