Computer shutting off.

Ok, so recently my computer, after about 7-10 minutes, has an alarm that goes off. When the alarm goes off there are no written warnings or anything else, just the alarm. Sometimes my computer turns off immediatly when the alarm goes off, and other times it will stay on for a minute or two. The only way that i can make the alarm turn off is to actually disconnect the power. Does anyone know what this is? I need help, i'm a noob when it comes to this stuff.
 
When I think of an alarm, I think of a fire alarm. Is it like the BIOS beeps that are the alarm? Could be overheating or a PSU issue.
 
Oh ya I forgot to mention that I have had a couple of problems with the power supply in the past. I have replaced it twice. And it might be overheating, because the alarm seems to start sooner the hotter it is in the room.
 
What do you mean when you keep saying "alarm"? If you can clarify this as beeps, something that you added, or your alarm clock.. then we really dont know, but rather keep guessing with you what the problem might be.
