rashing and beeping driving me insane!

[jammydodger]

I've had my new computer a few months now and have experiance no major problems on it. But for some reason everytime a play warcraft3 and SimCity4 the computer will suddenly emit a high pitched bleeeeep and everything starts running very slowly.

There is nothing i can do to stop it leeping than restart my computer. At first i thought it might have been the overheat warning on my motherboard but i after disableing this feature i still get the bleeping sound after a while.

My system:
P4 2.4 (running at 2.7)
Abit motherboard (SiS648)
Cosair PC3200 (running at 200Mhz)
A-open geforce4 Ti 4200
Sonic Explosion sound card (I think its called something different in the USA)

I wasnt sure where to put this post so i put it in both the games and CPU section.

disable cpu fan speed and both the mobo and cpu temp warnings... if the beep goes away, you need to worry about cooling.

btw, is it just one long beep or bunch of them?

Its just one long beep, I have disabled the CPU overheat warning and it still beeps, there are no other alarms on my motherboard.

hmmm i can't think of any other reason... what is your case temp? and does the beep keep going and going or does it stop after a while?

Yeh that could be it, is there any way i can monitor temps on my graphics card? If it is the graphics card what could i do about it?
