anoying problem
on: February 15, 2008, 14:35:33 PM

my machine is well old now but, i watercooled it about 2 months after i got it it wasnt even in a case for 2 years .. finally got a donated case cos i was to tight to buy one and ended up dripping a bit of water onto the motherboard from the cpu block ... dryed it out out it was fine but about 6 months later when i stopped watercooling it. cos i was getting ticked of with water all over the floor when i was changing stuff. i ended up sticking a old P1 heatsink on it .. u know the big ones they used before they used fans .. (ended up melting down my original HS).... ive got a fan on it but and its only at about 50c ish, the max before the mb alarm goes of is 70c .. but if i start the machine and leave it, it will start beeping and shut down on its own .. i figured it was getting hotter than i thought .... but if i start the machine and then restart it stright away its fine all day ..... dunno how that works .. so it cant be getting to hot  

oh other things random lockups for no reson but im putting that down to the WD harddrive ... was fine for years on my seagate

well think it might be a overheating problem after all, still doesnt explain why when i restarted it was fine after ..

anyhow someone donated me a old p4 HS ive stuck that on temp has dropped from 55c ish to 36c ish reading of SiSoftware Sandra. but it says 28c in the bios now, and thats not from a cold boot, think there is something wrong with ether the temp sensors or regulators not giving the right temps and ur mislead into thinking ur atually colder then u think u are ...... remeber a long time ago some boards used to have the temps not registering right ... think they had to sort a firmware update to sort it? not sure?

some boards used to have a little tempreture sensor in the middle of the cup socket... so they wernt very accurate, were slow to show the real temp as the cpu warmed up... and some even had a draught blowing over them from the HS fan !

tho youre on an amd64... so it should deffo be using the internal temp sensor thing built into the cpu....

if you leave it running in the bios for 30min it should reach its max temp, as the biso leaves the cpu going at 100%.... try that and see what happens ;)

tho Id say its not an overheating problem... if hitting reset just after you start up fixes it for a while...

what does the beeping sound like ?

could it be the gfx card overheating ?

thought it might have a internal sensor was to lazy to look it up ... but the irregularitys between sisoft sandra and bios are way out

havent stuck it in the bios for 30 mins yet to try that .. i know the cpu goes at 100% in there

its not hitting reset its . getting into windows then re-starting which sorted it before .. havent needed to do that so far tho

BEEP (pause) BEEP (pause) BEEP (pause) BEEP (pause) BEEP (pause) BEEP (pause) BEEP (pause) BEEP (pause) ... shutdown .. sh*t ive lost all my work!!!

the gfx has a audio amp HS on it, its massive . it doesnt even get warm .. contacts ok
