Hi all.

wasjust on my PC, only had Chrome open.

Then the screen went all green and the PC started beeping (alarm im guessing?)

I held the power button to turn it off. As it happens, it started itself up again, and all seems fine now

Any ideas?

Cheers

I would say GPU or something overheating or like above power issue. Failing that maybe the GPUis failing or something. Need to happen more often though, as I have had the odd random crash and it has never happened again.

The odd BSOD/crash is no big deal, especially if it restarted and all is working fine now.

If having a single crash, screen freeze or auto reboot is spooking you, I can't imagine how you would've dealt with Windows 95 or Windows 98, which would generally behave erratically every few hours. I remember at one stage, Win95 was so bad that during gameplay, I would count myself lucky if I got through 4-5 hours of gaming without a BSOD (blue screen of death).
