Dude that beeping mostly means your cpu is to HOT... DID you O/C your cpu by any chance?

-Zier

 

[Rind]

no it not overclocked cpu

 

[Nutcase99]

Is there enough cooling on the cpu?

 

[JokerF15]

has been happening to one of my friends also, but only when he raises it past 850/900 (one of those), he just took it out! literally take the speaker out.

hope i helped

Rind, did you apply thermal compound between your heatsink/fan and your cpu?

You HAVE to use this stuff.

 

[Rind]

i dont know its just a standard heatsink fan that was on the 550 mhz anthlon ,i just removed the 950 mhz and put back the 550mhz and NO beeps or errors perhaps i bought a bad chip ,because it did the beeps the day i recived it and installed it

 

[Bignate603]

you may need a better heatsink, the faster the chip, the hotter it gets. This is a slotted athlon right?

 

[Rind]

yes it is a slot A anthlon imma return this cpu back to where i bought it and get another 1 to see if it was a defect,cuz dunno if its damged now ?kinda sux i paid for$ 179 it and have a lost,is 200 watts too low for it do i need a supply?

 

[toph99]

you can't take the heatsink/fan from a 550mhz cpu and put it on a 950mhz cpu without it getting WAY too hot. you should always put a heatsink on it which is specified for it's speed and model

 

[Regalk]

Still a 200 watt PS can't be that good for a 950 Athlon and a Voodoo 4. I use those things on my old AT cases with vanilla Pentiums. Get a 300w or better.

 

[Rind]

any one else has advice?

 

[Blayze]

try a different heatsink and fan
you may also want to pick up a AMD approved 300 watt powersupply or better

 

[Nvidian]

Rind,

yeaa... your CPU suck becouse its AMD. Bot, i telle u wot, bad bad bad bad idea of u steel usin 200W PS. no!!! AMDs also dreenk up two mooch pwr. some thug here mentioned get a 300W or more n yea.. good idea. Get a huge ass hit sink with whot ShaftPlane said. Thermal stuff.. get em. it'll doo u gid. If yo switched AMD pross from 550 to 7 sumting as u said then you mite wanna check yur V.core voltage fur yur pross.. mite have to increeeaaaaassssssss it!!!!!!! gid luke dode.

 

[spidey07]

Your CPU is way too hot and you are running the risk of damaging it. Even if you return this chip and get another one you'll have the same problem.

Get an AMD approved heatsink/fan with some thermal paste/pad and install the CPU correctly. Wish I could give more detailed advice but don't know much about AMDs other than they run way hot and need ample cooling.

ps - about the guy who was tired of the beeping and just removed the speaker? That is just plain stupid.

 

[Rind]

ok guys i did what everyone told me i went and bought a sparkle 300 watt psu and a new heatsink fan which is a gold orb fan for slot A and suppose to be very good and still the damn ambulance beeps i have no damn clue what the hell this is my board as far from asus says it supports to 1ghz ,i also bought thermo grease and put in between the heatsink fan and cpu.

 

[spidey07]

Can you look in your motherboard manual or on the net for what that specific beep code means? Post the code and I'll try to look it up with ya!

post with this kind of syntax:

HIlong-LOWshort-HIlong-LOWshort, 3 second pause, repeat.

which translates to...beeeeeeeedoo, beeeeeeedoo, pause

 

[Rind]

beedoo pong beedoopong beedoo pong sounds like that its annoying

 

[spidey07]

sorry, give it to me with the long short, high low designations.

Asus Manual

 

[Rind]

hang on iwill make a wav file from it and post a link so every1 can hear it

 

[spidey07]

from manual:

high frequency beeps when system is working ------------- CPU overheated, System running at a lower frequency

hope this helps. I still think it is overheating. Are you sure you got a HSF for a slot A athalon?

 

[Rind]

here listen to it http://www.angelfire.com/gundam/stupidcompsux/

 

[Rind]

yes for an anthlon i put the 550 mhz in and beeps stopped but i just put the 950mhz in now and it was cold as hell with the new heatsink fan it gold color i bought it at frys today with new 300 watt psu and it immediately beeps

Rind, that beeping/buzzing noise is horrible! But, I have heard a beeping sound like that before because the RAM was set incorrectly. I had to move it to different slots until the bios would recognize the RAM. I was able to install windows, but most of my programs would crash. Most of the time programs couldn't install. And I would always get the error: &quot;illegal error unknown&quot; especially in M$ software.

To make a long story short, it was bad RAM :Q You might want to try another stick of RAM(if possible). Good luck!

 

[Rind]

ya im afraid i got a bad processor i put my 550 mhz and get no beeps ,i give up on my 950 for now and stick with 550 until i get another1 i have a huge headache from this ..thx for your help guys
