hello !!! this is my first post ever on this forum so I'd like to be short and not to stress you guys too much so here it goes: I had a Celeron 2800 MHz which was around 32-33' C at startup, went to 34-36' C in normal desktop mode, but as soon as I was playing a game, in 2-5 minutes, I would hear my motherboard beep ( yes, I've enabled the temp. check ) ... so I used AIDA32 in order to see the CPU temp and it went up to 60-62 while playing ... as soon as I'd stop, it went below 40 in less than a minute and back to 3x' C .... so I've changed the Celeron for a Pentium recently ( not because of this problem ), which runs at 2800 MHz also and I have the exact same problem, except the fact that I have to play for like 15 minutes instead of 5 ... so after 15 minutes, my motherboard still beeps telling me the CPU has reached at least 60' C what can I do ??? what did I do wrong ?? just as a quick note, I've replaced the heat sync paste ( or what's it called ) a dozen times and nothing has changed please help me out and thanks !!! P.S.: I have this problem for a long time now, but at first ( in 2005 I think ), after hearing the annoying beeps from the mainboard, I've disabled the PC speaker ( stupid, I know ... tell me about it ) and I've only began to hear it again a few months ago when I decided to put the speaker back on.
