384665 2005-08-31 12:14:00 Hi boys & girls.
I get the long beep sound while the window is running but sometimes is couple short beeps. HA HAI didn.t get any beep sounds for whole evening, even now , no beep. WHY? WHY?

B.M : The temperature is running at 30-40 degree most the time.and heat- sink was propertly fitted

Graham : There is no long beep shows on Sound Tab of Control Panel

Jen : Keyboard is fine, no sticking keys.

Would it be the motherboard that causes the problem?.

Please help.
Thank you.

384666 2005-08-31 23:49:00 Almost certain to be an overheating problem.

As soon as it happens, turn off your computer and let it cool down for a while. If it runs for too long, you could fry your chip. Ouch!

Get the shop to test your system to make sure it is dispersing heat properly. If all else fails, try removing the side panels of your computer box. It's a cheap option, but it works (yeah, I know it's supposed to be more efficient with the side panels on, but it worked for me!).

If you built the computer yourself, you should still have the manual for the motherboard. (Hint ;)).

384668 2005-09-01 05:16:00 Hi,
I don,t think overheat is the issue, Because my system have 2x120mm chassis plus one 80mm side intake fan direct blow on to CPU's heat-sinks beside that it have a thermostat right next to the heat-sink which monitor the temperature.( the temperature led show the range from 29-41)
Do you think I should dissemble the system and send back the motherboard to test?
Any more suggestions please!
Thank you.

384669 2005-09-01 10:13:00 Ok, firstly, did you fit the heatsink and fan to the cpu?

Secondly, does one particular programme cause this grief?

If so, what is the programme your using when the beeping starts?

384670 2005-09-01 13:09:00 Hi BM,

Yes, I did fitted the heat-sinks on top pc cpu properly.

I think I may sorted the beep sound problem. a month ago , I had changed a setting in: CMOS SETUP UTILITY.-at PC Health Status.( I had changed the CPU Fan Fail Warning to ENABLED) Now, I have changed it back to the default setting which is DISABLED . So far so good it has no have any beep sounds yet.
Please tell me if i have done the right thing by change the setting to ENABLED.

The following is the PCHEALT STATUS setting in CMOS SETUP,
V core ok
DDRV ok
+3.3v ok
+12v ok
Current cpu temp 33`c
current cpu fan speed 1442 rpm
cureent power fan speed 0rpm
current system fan speed 0rpm
cpu warning temp [80`c/176`f]
cpu fan fail warning [disabled]
power fan fail warning [disabled]
system fan fail warning [disabled]
cpu smart fan control [enabled]
cpu smat fan mpde [ auto]

Can anyone tell me if the above setting are correct?
The motherboard is Gifgabye GA-81915P Due Pro with Award Bios,
Thank you .

384671 2005-09-02 23:20:00 Hi,
Just a quick note to let you guys know that the LONG BEEP SOUNDS has be sorted.

This particular motherboard is equipped with CPU SMART FAN CONTROL function, it mean if cpu temp is more than 65 degree, cpu will run in full speed but when cpu temp is lower than 40 degree, cpu fan will be disabled.

As I had changed the cpu fan fail warning to enable and as the first few minutes when Window start up and cpu was running below 40 degree. That was why, I had got the LONG BEEP SOUNDS.

Thank you for the help.

I'll guess memory, this time .

The first step is to half-remove then push back the memory sticks . This makes sure that the sticks are making proper contact with the motherboard sockets .
