This results in the screen either freezing solid, or going black. Newer models seem to tend towards the former. Anytime i have a driver lockup like that, in windows 7, i just ctrl+alt+del, which usually pulls me out of the game, and i can go back to it and shut it down, cause it will be locked up. I'm not sure if a solution could be made here. With these issues, assuming its load/heat issues, only thing you can do is turn settings down on the game, and/or get better airflow for the GFX card.
No the audio does a weird sound not regular it totally freezes my computer even ctrl alt delete option is unavailable I have to force shutdown my pc. In game I've put my fps down to 30 and and its even in window mode so I could check to see the temp of my computer and turn up my fan's to keep it cool as much as possible on I remember before the fps control function it was like 79 degrees with 30 it went down alot.
