Answer» Hi,
For the past week or so my computer has been beeping.
It doesn't happen when booting up but after maybe an hour or so of use. It beeps just once at random intervals, sometimes a few seconds between and other times a few minutes.
Any idea how I can find out whats causing it?Possible overheating.
Does it start right away, when computer is up?
Download, and install SpeedFan: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php
Post your computer temperatures:
Provide processor info (hold Windows key, and hit Pause/Break key to find out).Hey Broni
And Processor:
Thanks mateYour processor max temp is listed at 60.1° C, so you're hot!
Was the screenshot TAKEN, while computer idle?
First thing to do is to get a can of compressed air, and clean the thing inside.Completely idle
I cleaned it out thoroughly about 4/5 weeks ago, this is strange You definitely have overheating problem.
Open the case, start the machine, and see, if all FANS are running.
Get a house fan, blow it TOWARD the case, and see, if temps go down (SpeedFan).
If so, it's probably time to reapply thermal paste.You may have blown stuff into the heat sink by misstake.
PULL the heat sink off and blow out the fins good and than put new thermal paste and put it back together.
Post the new numbers. Also check to be sure any other fans are running ok.
I posted a little late....Hey guys,
I removed the heatsink and cleaned everything out thoroughly, went out and bought new thermal paste and reinstalled the heatsink.
It was working fine for a day, now it's starting again
One thing I didn't do was clean the old paste off properly (I just wiped it with my finger lol) would that be the cause do you think?May be your laziness....LOLwhat do I need to clean it?http://www.arcticsilver.com/instructions.htmOk I cleaned the old paste off, reapplied new and still having issues.
I'm thinking it must be the heatsink?
Fan speeds seem low Yeah, those temps still look too high.Also I've been getting this warning:
That voltage looks odd, but I'm not a HARDWARE guy...
