Computer starts loud beeping and crashes after a few minutes using Fusion 360

[tkeding]

Hello,

since the latest updates, when opening Fusion 360, after a few minutes my computer starts making loud periodic beeping sounds and automatically shuts down if I don't close Fusion immediately. Seems to go faster when I open a saved project. This problem does not occur on any other App so far. I tried reinstalling Fusion & updating Graphic card driver, to no avail so far. Any ideas what could cause this? here is my system configuration:

Thanks & Greetings

Hard to diagnose! Beeping could indicate some BIOS function. If you have the documentation for the device you might get lucky and find the BIOS beep codes that can help diagnose the problem.

I tried it again... it beeps continuously (counted 26x, closed Fusion after about 17 beeps) until shutting down finally, so I guess beep codes don't apply?

I play games with supposedly higher performance requirements without problems, didn't have this problems elsewhere, so it seems to be related to Fusion 360. Is there any diagnostic/log file I could supply for checking?

Ok, I found the issue... the fan of my graphic card was stuck after I recently opened it to remove dust 😕

So it overheated very soon after starting an App that need more calculating power
