Computer Gurus-- why is my computer beeping at me (like a warning system)? - Page 2 - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

My computer beeped when it was overheating last summer. A short time later the motherboard went.

Maybe take part of your case off and run a fan onto your comp and try to replicate the problem.

All I can suggest is check all your connections.

i have the same m/b. its beeping to let you know its overheating... but this might not be as bad as it sounds. from the factory they set the warning temp a little to low in some early bios versions. all you have to do, is go into your bios and change the warning temp. then just keep an eye on your temps to see how hot its really running. as long as it dosnt start crashing on you, then your fine as far as heat goes.

if you are paranoid lower the emergency shutoff temp in the BIOS to something like....60. Stock emergency shutoff I believe is a standard 85. Some boards may be lower but that is the upper limit on any board. If your computer randomly shuts off, you found your problem.

If this is the case, get a copper HS+F and some AS5
