Question Box is beeping?

Can anyone shed some light here, my computer has just beeped at me through the speakers - well it was more of a beep-beep.....beep-beep. There is only Scoobynet open and that is it. I have no other software which is running that might cause it......I'm stumped here...

What motherboard do you have? Could be a warning beep due to imminent fan failure, cpu overheating, etc.

Hmmm temps sound good for AMD processor.

Are you running the PC Probe program? If so, does it have any logs or indications if it is anything going a bit dicky?

If not, haven't got a clue

Not sure if this may be of any use (assuming PC Probe running)

What graphics card have you got ? - the new ati cards have an overclocking heat sensor that does a double beep when either the processor or ram overheats.

Question

Radeon 9600 pro, you think the RAM may be overheating? It has started to act strange, come to think of it. Whilst loading up another H/D with XP the other day, when it was under load, it just switched itself off in the middle of it. I had to pull the power lead out and re insert to start it up again.

Did you get a monitor program with the radeon - allowing overclocking and monitoring as part of the driver set - mine is a tachyon with cooled ram and big heatsink specifically for clocking.


Also - check your asus m/board manual or check on the Asus website for Error codes - sounds like ram timing/overheating problem of some sort - eith graphics card or main memory.

No I didn't. I,m guessing the graphics card may be the problem, as I was running the same RAM with no trouble in Cyprus, which was far hotter than it is here.

Could also be PSU related? What rating/make is your PSU? Could be getting a wandering voltage causing drop outs. Mentions it in that thread I posted earlier

Does it do it consistently? Is it only when warmed up after a certain time, or does it do it from cold?

The only thing I can suggest is get hold of something like Motherboard Monitor which can monitor all sorts of things and see if it flags up any warnings.
