... yells my computer!
Well after many months of my computer working brilliantly with no hardware problems at all, its decided it wants to play the fool!
Randomly it decides to reboot but instead of loading up again, the screen doesn't get a signal and the computer starts emitting that siren! It usually boots properly once I have switched it off and turned it back on again. But I did have to reset the bios once.
The only ever time I have had this problem before this, was when I think I clocked it too high, or I didn't up the voltage enough.
It was running 200 * 11.5 for ages with 1.62v with no problems at! Totally stable tested with prime95!
I have now dropped it down to 200 * 11, but it did it again a moment ago...
Now I would guess it has something to do with it being overclocked, but why would it start doing this now after working fine for months?
Temp-wise, the cpu has usually been running mid-40's under load which isn't bad considering its a bit dusty and the water needs changing!
Unfortunately it isn't consistant! It has done this while playings games, checking email, and whilst just browsing the net. What's my computer trying to tell me? Does it want a clean? Has it decided it doesn't like being overclocked? Or does it just not like me anymore? Would anyone be able to translate "BEEE BAAA" into English for me?
Specs are as follows:
XP-M 2400+ (Usually at 2300MHz, 200*11.5)
Epox 8rda3+
1GB Crucial PC3200 (Standard stuff)
Geforce 6800
Antec 430W TruePower
2x Samsung 160GB SpinPoints
