constant beeping noise

[stamp92]

my computer keeps making a constant beeping noise? the constant noise comes and goes. it can be beeping for a few hours and then suddenly go for 10 mins or an hour. and then returns again. its random.

any suggestions

i read somewhere it might be related to keyboard but ive tried replacing keyboard and it still happens.

i can record sound if needed

windows xp
amd 2100
512mb ram

thanks

Could be a warning from the motherboard, most likely on temperature. Can you check the temperature of it? If you don't know how, download AIDA32 and check "sensors".

Agreed.

Does your Mobo Manufacturer have a software monitor program - most do?

i was leaving pc on practically 24/7 maybe that was causing it.

im just checking out with aida 32 now

58ºc (136ºf) motherboard
47ºc (117ºf) aux

how does that fair?

58 For motherboard? YIKES!


Your motherboard is a bit toasty, I would get another fan put in there quick

Wich one is for your cpu? 58C sounds very steep for a motherboard (So does 47C for that matter), the highest my motherboard has ever reached is 33C

Just a question are you using something like Easytune?? this comes with a cpu and system case temp sensor which can be alarmed with a beeping.

If so try unintalling it, unless you use it for overclocking ur system

Then you will need to find sensor and hit the H tab i think it is and then one off options on top is to activate alarm deactivate that reboot should go.

Just a noobs view took me ages to figure mine out when it was doing it.

any suggestions what i should do abt this high temperature.

i assume i need a new fan or to check the current one is working properly.

[stamp92]

thankyou it would seem to be definately the motherboard temperature. the beeping starts when motherboard temperature exceeds 60ºc

You had best get another fan in there then, looks like that one you already have in it isn't doing much of a good job.

well i thought it was temperature that was causing beeping but its beeping again and this time temperature is 57 degrees.

is there anything else anybody knows that could be causing this beeping noise. i will post sound file if i can in a min

[stamp92]

see attached sound file.

ignore all the hissing that just coz i recorded it with camera on webcam. you should be able to hear the constant beeping sound.

sorry had to put in zip file coz wouldnt let me upload mp3 file.

It could also be a voltage alert - your +12v is registering 13.06 - and if it rises another point or 2, 13.2v would be the 10% boundary.

Couldn't get much from the MP3 - when I had a similar problem, my voltage alarm was a hi-lo siren effect - using MBM, I could see the voltage climb as the system warmed up, and the warning spluttered a few times, and then got more and more consistent.

It was NOT MBM or any other software doing it though - this was built in, and operated through the SYSTEM speaker, not the soundcard.

Strange why the CPU isn't showing a temperature, unless the MB doesn't support it. Could also be a CPU temperature warning, but we can't seem to check because AIDA32 isn't showing it.

Does the BIOS have like a "computer health" section? If so, look in there and it may show the CPU temperature.
