AMD 2500 Barton (1833mhz) oc to 2400mhz.
12x200 @ 1.775v.
Now, I've oced a barton to 3200 before in the past (another rig) having to raise the voltage to 1.75, didn't have a problem, ran stable after benchmark/stabiliy tests. This time, after the overclock, it seemed stable.. ran Prime95, SiSoft Sandra. Didn't have a single artifact or problem.. now, its been a day, I turn off the computer. The next morning, I turn it on.. and everything seems fine; reports 2400mhz, but then...
After POST, the Windows XP bar starts loading (before actually getting to my desktop), my NF7-S Rev. 2.0 starts making a CONSTANT (no interval) high pitched beeping sound... I wasn't directly at the computer at the time, by the time I got back.. Iw as already at my desktop, all applications loaded, but the mobo kept making the sound. So, believing it was a warning of an unstable oc, I turn it off, and bring it back to 2200mhz (11x200); hoping tha tI wouldn't re-encounter the problem.
Let me get to the point. The main problem is, when I "Turn On" the computer (power button) the constant high pitched sound will always occur from the mobo.. doesn't matter how much my processor is oced. But after discovering this, I oc it back to 2400mhz (12x200) to discover this proved true. -.- How evil? .. eh? .. If I restart the computer from Windows, let it go through POST.. no sound. If I turn OFF the computer, and start it up manually; I get the sound again.


Any idea why this is occuring? .. anybody experience similar problems? .. could it be I fried my mobo's printer circuit in some way? .. BIOS safety readings are wrong? ..

reset the cmos and try it again...also try reflashing the bios or upgrading the bios....

If you go in the way that doesn't give you the beep tones do you have complete stability??? You can prime as long as you want and run any app??? If so it sounds like a bios issue, and do the above...


What kind of temp settings do you have set??? Maybe it gives it an erroroneous temp reading and hence the beeping...

Also have you consulted the manual or the website as to what the beep tone sequence suggests???
