I was playing Alan Wake 2 and the screen suddenly went off, and my pc start making a long beep and 3 short beeps constantly
The interesting fact was that i was still hearing the game in the background while this weird beeps happened.
And another strange fact was that the reset button on pc didn't do nothing
My computer specs are
CPU:Ryzen 9 5900x
GPU:RX 6800 SFWT XFX 16 GB
RAM:64 GB Corsair 2166mhz Dual Channel
PSU:NJoy 850W
Motherboard :B450 Aorus Elite V2
SSD:2x2tb Kingston and An 500GB Aorus which the Windows is installed

The GPU i just bought 2 weeks ago as new,coming from an used RX 580
It's the first time this happens to me,and was so weird that in my Even Viewer nothing showed strange
What it could be?Maybe someone more experienced could bright my mind?
 
One long beep followed by two or three short beeps is the rather vague "graphics card problem" - it might be that your PSU is struggling but the 6800 only draws 25W more than the 580 at peak so unless you only just had enough juice for the 580 it seems unlikely, so as a first move unseat and reseat the GPU and check that the power cables are fully inserted.

I did checked carefully and had one event log with the following statement
Kernel Power 41

That's a generic "the computer switched off unexpectedly" error, so it doesn't really narrow it down.
Yah it's strange that while the pc maded those annoying beeps i still heard sound from the game in my headphones

Also i don't even remember those old logs i got there.
Only one was in june 2023 due to a powercut.
I am thinking also that might be due to overheating since the GPU Temp was about 80 degrees.
