    What is wrong with my computer?

    Spec:
    xp1700
    NF7-S
    GF4 ti4200
    60gb maxtor

    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
    Will

    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.

    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    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?
