Recently my computer has started shutting down with a siren noise when it is standing up straight. Lying flat it is fine.
I have tried not overclocking, reseting CMOS, reseating HSF and disabling the CPU temperature shut down.
But still the problem persists. Is there anything i can do?
Any help much appreciated

Even though you've turned CPU temp shutdown off, I still think it could be a heat issue , based on the fact that heat rises, so one way up there's more of an issue then the other way.
Get some temps for us in both states.
seeing as you recently put arctic silver on everything, reseat everything (like northbridge) and make sure you didnt put too much on...

Huh? Where did he say he put arctic silver on everything? :)
hehe, dunno, a recent post i'm pretty sure, unless he told me on msn :o heh,

Yeah - i did take everything apart and clean/reapply artic silver. Although everything was working until i put another network card in, which now i have taken out...

The temp for it on its side and just browsing the net was 37 degrees in the BIOS. and standing up i could get into the BIOS it just shut down with the siren noise...
Hmmm that definitely sounds like a HSF problem. What HSF is it?
Heat sink is a Volcano 7
And the fan is a evercool (2200rpm) - this has never given me a problem before...
I just thought, could it be shorting on the motherboard (the screws) or something when i stand it up?
hmm... i reset the CMOS and the problem seems to have stopped....thanks for the help all :)
