I disabled the SmartFan option in the bios and all the beeping has stopped.

I'm having the same problem without the crashes. I just get an
annoying buzz from my box when it alerts me to the fan 'dying'.
Visually the fan is spinning just fine. I am wondering if it is a
problem with the software not getting accurate info on the fan when
the cpu is under load.

I have an Enermax EG365-ve fma supply.

I just purchased a Gigabyte GA-7n400 Pro Mobo, a barton 2500+, and 2 512MB
sticks of Corsair XMS Platinum DDR400, Radeon 9700Pro

FSB set to 200, processor = x 11, memory = 400MHz (2200 MHz effective),
AGP
locked @ 66Mhz

I can boot WinXP fine. No problems using XP desktop applications.

When running games (NOLF2 multiplayer for example), I can play for a
while,
but end up crashing to the desktop after 2-10 minutes, or hanging.

Tried with/without dual channel mode, same problem. I moved the FSB down
to
166Mhz, and have the same problem! Memory timings are 6-2-2-2 as
specified.

One weird thing I've noticed: Bios/Easytune monitor is showing fan
speed/vcore voltage/+5 volts readings dropping down several percent every
few seconds and then returning to normal - over and over. Is this
constant
fluctuation normal? Could this be causing system instability? (250 Watts
PS)

Any other ideas?

Help is much appreciated.
