| 1117702 | 2010-07-12 00:01:00 | Booted from the another Linux CD (Knoppix ver 6.2.1), loads OK but the beep doesn't go away (when the machine is cold). The annoying beep(s) comes just after the POST beep (one short). The annoying beep(s) is different from the ordinary POST beep codes - the tone is of much lower pitch. One can easily hear the difference between the 2 different tones. After close observation, I do not think that it's software related because the beep(s) starts just after the POST beep, before the BIOS devices detecting phase and stops at the Windows log on screen (when the board has reached certain temperature). Ran MEMTEST did not detect any errors - I would assume that the RAMs are OK. Just for your info, I have: 2 x 2G SuperTalent DDR2 + 2 x 2G Corsair DDR2 RAM sticks. Does it matter to have 2 different brands of RAM in one system? Now, there's only one more piece of hardware, i.e., graphic card. Unfortunately I do not have a spare PCIE vid card to swap. Is there any other methods to rule out the video card? |

| 1117703 | 2010-07-12 00:15:00 | Are you sure it's not a CPU overheating warning alarm? | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1117704 | 2010-07-12 00:36:00 | Are you sure it's not a CPU overheating warning alarm? I don't think that it's the CPU 'over-heating' alarm - how could it be possible to 'over-heat' when the machine starts from cold? It doesn't beep when Windows is running, even when it's running 'heavily' for >5 hours non stop. CPU Temp is around 37 - 45 deg C. And, when the machine is 'warm' it stops beeping (when restarts the machine). |

| 1117705 | 2010-07-12 01:02:00 | Apart from the Graphic Card, are there any other PCI cards in the PC, if so remove them. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1117706 | 2010-07-12 01:52:00 | Apart from the Graphic Card, are there any other PCI cards in the PC, if so remove them. No other PCI cards. This is what I have: 1 x TB WD HDD (SATA) boot disk 1 x 500GB Seagate HDD (SATA 1 x ASUS DVDRW 1 x Lite-on DVDRW 1 x Card Reader 1 x Floppy DD |

| 1117707 | 2010-07-12 02:02:00 | Is this related to this ? (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1117708 | 2010-07-12 02:16:00 | Is this related to this ? (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) It is partly, initially it beeps when BIOS detecting the devices but now it beeps immediately after the POST beep, before detecting the devices and continues beeping until the Windows logon screen, two times it continues after logged on (for a couple of seconds). The previous beeps were not so annoying though. |

| 1117709 | 2010-07-12 02:34:00 | Could be the LAN (since its got 2)?? And youre not using both? Or maybe the TPM, since its onboard, and Win7 supports it? I see its got diag LED's on it too. Do any of these light up / stay on, when it beeps? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Do any of these light up / stay on, when it beeps? 1. LAN, not using any - using a USB Wireless adaptor. 2. TPM - what's that? 3. Diag LEDs - did not pay attention to it will do it the next cold boot. |
