Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5

Left my computer running a game and when I came back after roughly one hour, it was frozen on the boot screen. Ever since, the motherboard speakers keep on making a clicking/ticking sound. At some point it stops for a couple of seconds and then the computer restarts to repeat the same. I'm sure...

Hello guys i was wondering if i brought a 144hz monitor but some of my games don't run above 144fps will it still seem smooth or will it be choppy? thanks :)
