Hello I am having this issue with all my Steam games and Epic games. Whenever I plug my controller in or try to play a game that computer makes a constant beeping noise and I have to unplug my Xbox controller. I tried switching to Big screen mode and also updated my NVIDIA drivers graphics card on my ACER Nitro 5 laptop. Please help me. The beeping noise only stops when I unplug my laptop charger from the wall.

Playing Games and Damaging My PC

Hi Jonah

Your laptop will play that game, no problem

It sill not damage your system at all . ..

The only thing I would suggest is getting a game controller, constant hammering away at your keyboard will not be good for that in the long run . . .
