Hello
Ive been noticing when i turn on my computer, and im just logging into my XP account or on the XP account page, it makes this "beeeeeep" noise and sometimes locks up my computer. I downloaded my recent video drivers, but i dont think that would be the case, since i downloaded them before and the buzzing didnt get worse, but now it has.


Thanks

You checked all your leads and devices plugged in via usb?

everything seems fine, im not that good with computers so bare with me, i checked all the plugs and everything was plugged in.

Is it one continuous beep? Does it go away after you log in?

[h3adsh0tasc]

yea, when im at the log in, it does it for like 5 seconds, then when i log in its quite, but when programs are loading it does like lil beeps that come randomly, but after that they never happen agian.

That is indeed very strange. This may be a problem that's very hard to cure over the Internet -- wish I was there to hear it. The only thing I can think of is some type of malfunctioning motherboard alarm through the PC speaker.

[h3adsh0tasc]

Doesnt come through the speaker, makes it right from the computer. Like when your run Winsockfix.

Can you tell if it's coming from the hard drive? Some hard drives have alams for overheating, maybe it's malfunctioning. Or, has a bearing going out.

It seems to be overheating. One of my friends told me that to. He said to leave the side of the computer off and keep the room cool. I just tried it today and it seems to be working fine. It only beeped once and didnt freeze.

I was also wondering what fan i should buy for my computer. I have a dell pentium 4, i dont know how to find out my mobo #

[admin]

What kind of fan do you want? CPU or case fan?

[h3adsh0tasc]

Whitch ever one is cheaper really. But its odd, i removed this Camera card reader, and now it doesnt beep, it was plugged into a USB slot... Think that caused it?
thanks
