Please look at the previous thread and help me understand whats happening

Hello,

Please look at the previous thread:

look at the last thing a wrote.

Right I have looked at your post from the link above.

First of all as said all of the voltages for the 3.3v 5.0v and 12v rails reported are fine.
You are always going to get a slight fluctuation in voltages. Yours are less than 5%

Your beeping is not, or may not be related to the graphics card at all.

Instead it may be an indicator that the Cpu is reaching a thermal shutdown temperature.
A board will indicate this by a steady set of beeps or pulses.

So check the temp of the cpu. Make a note of it when the beeping starts.
Restart the system and enter the bios of the motherboard and check what the thermal shut down is set to and set it higher.

The other thing linked to that is what we call the fan rotation speed rpm.
If the fan spins to slow at one point the board will also beep in pulses thinking the fan has stopped working as a warning. Low fan warning speed in rpm.

When Idle in the bios check to see what speed the fan is spinning at in rpm.
Then look at the lower trigger value.
If the fan is spinning lower than the set rate it is because the trigger is picking it up ans sounding an alarm thinking it has failed.
Set it lower or turn the option of to monitor it in the bios.


Again this the fan or rpm speed can be set in the bios manually or the board can manage it.

This is why you are getting a steady beeping, or pulsed beeping of a single short beep.
My board does this and most new ones do.
If my fan drops below 600 rpm it starts to complain by the same method as your system does.

So i turn off the low rpm trigger in the bios or lower it.

the proc temperature was a 52 degrees Celsius.
and the fan was at about 1900 rotations.

Ok.
So does the beeping only happen, during playing a game.
Or just after it.

Or does it also happen when in normal windows just using the desktop. ?

Just to clear things up.

i was playing a game, and in the middle of the game it happened.
i had the probe on the other monitor, that's why i know the details.
after exiting the game it stopped.

Its a trigger in the bios of the mother board then as I said.

Thermal warning temp reaching shutdown of system due to cpu heat build up.
If the board is set to auto then the fan duty cycle in rpm spins up.
It starts off low then ramps the rpm to get rid of heat quicker.

The problem is with auto it can often react too slow.

So if you can set the speed of the cpu fan manualy to a higer rpm.
That way it will keep on top of the heat building up by pushing more air at a faster rate at a constant speed.

That should cope with the heat build up better. before it reaches a warning trigger point by the beeps.
The fact of what you say indicates it is the problem in some way.

So check the cpu shutdown trigger in the bios a bit higher.
And set the fan speed to manual at medium setting or high.

Test it see if it works, let me know.
BTW are you using a stock Intel cooler?

 

[biotic]

nope
i am using a sigmatek loky cooler.
and i have a phenom processor. phenom II x4 955.

 

[Shaun o]

Ok my bad.
Anyway try what we talked about.
See if the problem goes away.

Like I said get back.

If you have no joy then we will look at a few other causes and solutions to fix the problem ok.

 

[biotic]

ok, ill test it when i get home. will let you know what i find.
btw i set the temp treshhold for the cpu at 65 degrees along time ago
