On some PCs when the CPU starts overheating it starts a buzzing or beeping noise, its like that on my old PC

so what would u suggest new CPU or take it out & give it some of that white gunk heat stuff lol cant think what the name of it is...

Check your motherboard manual usually those "bleeps" mean something. That possibly might only be a startup though.

Sometimes you get bleeps if you press too many keys or the same key too many times. Is it one bleep or does it keep bleeping like an alarm?

Yeah that's on startup.

Thermal Paste/Grease is what you are thinking of mate. If it is the CPU overheating then you should just need a new CPU cooler, take the side off and check that the fan is spinning. It could also be the graphics card getting too hot, in which case the same principles apply.

Use something to monitor your CPU temps, then just load a game like normal and tab out an check after about 15mins

I got this from Speedfan

Temp 1 51c

Temp 2 65c

Local 51c

Remote 68c

HD0 37c

Temp 1 65c

Fan 1 & 2 are running at 2500rpm so can anyone explain the prob now?Am i overheating somewhere?

weringo · 16 Sep 2006 at 22:52

Temp 2 is your CPU I think, and if it is 65C is too hot especially idle. I had the same problem a few days ago with my new PC and it turned out I hadnt installed the heatsink properly. I would recommend you reinstall the heatsink and make sure all of the pins have clicked properly into the mobo
