Answer» This is coming internally from my computer.. I purchased Windows XP Home and installed it on my computer, but sometimes, especially if I am playing a game , it will make beeping noises, very much like the OLD arcade game PONG!! weird..I don't know what it is doing this, but I get the same sounds on different games, it will also do this when I am just in Windows and not playing a game. This is internal and not from my speakers... I went into my BIOS and disabled beeping when my computer overheats... It stopped beeping. But why is it overheating? I have 2 cooling fans in there, a heat sync, blah blah blah, The tech guy said this is more than enough coolng for my system. Also, the beeping didn't start until I started a game, like Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2. Once I turned off the game, the beeping would continue while I am in general Windows. Once I disabled the beeping, my game started crashing too... Does anyone know why? What should my temp be set at?
UPDATE
well, I installed Speedfan 4.2.2 I t says that Temp 1 is 33 C Temp 2 is 48 C And has a red arrow pointing up... Temp 3 is 34 C What does this mean? Why do I have 3 temperatures? If Temp 2 is at 48, and the arrow is red,,, am I in TROUBLE?
Also, Fan 1 is 2177 RPM Fan 2 is 4167 RPM Fan 3 is 0 RPM... Fan 3??? I didn't know I had a fan 3... I am kinda new the hardware angle and am learning as go here, Any ideas? Tx Mattmay be the 3ed fan set as stand by that mean .... the 3ed fan working only if the tempratures increse than 48degrees........... and 3ed fan must has lergest RPM (more than 4167RPM ).............................. and if 3ed fan not working chek wires and thermostate or temprature sensor that sesing the high temprature on your computer........ if every thing is ok. then maybe the 3ed fan damaged.....Do you have a small case? I had a compaq (read as comp-ACK!!! lol) in a small case at one point and though all the fans worked fine the thing cooked itself lol. atleast your gives beeps. mine gave no warning until things started going haywire.
also make sure it has adequate room at all the PC's intake vents/slats and that they are free of dust and debris (shoulnt make that BIG a differance but you never know).
And finaly do you have your PC in one of those desks that ALMOST entirely encloses the PC? If so move it out into the open where it has a little breathing room and run it like that for a while with the beeps turned on and see what happens.
HTH! Signed, Redeyes_GambitIf your heatsink is clogged with dust it can also cause a problem. if you got a program like motherboard monitor you could check the tempratures. If it happens while running games it could be an issue with your GFX. try moving the fans to cool the card or different areas of the p.c untill you find the problem.
