Warning on boot up ? comes on again
This is on a dual board a GA-6BXDwin2K sp4.
On starting up I get the audible warning and think, Ah yes one of the CPU fans has packed up. No, both are running fine but the BIOS are showing that number one CPU fan is not running. The no one CPU is actually a degree c lower! OK I then turn off the warning for both fans and all goes well until later in the start up and the warning comes on again and stays on. In desperation I pull the board connector. I do not want to leave the situation unresolved and wonder if anyone has any suggestions. Only untoward happening prior to this was I plugged in an old PCI graphics card to run a second monitor. This turned out not be any good. I have been using the AGP slot since building this box several years ago and it has been pretty reliable. Cheers Richard -- Richard Kenward |

Looked at the Event Log and nothing in the System log though in properties it shows a decent size file. However in the first event the date and time is the same as for the last one. Changing the time backwards fails even using Refresh to show anything. The application log only shows events if refreshed. Hope this helps Cheers Richard -- Richard Kenward |

Dear Karen What is MBM5 when its at home please? BTW the only change made was the testing of that old PCI graphics card, and was removed straight away when found to be too low a spec. The warning sound problems started the next time the computer was fired up. Its running now as I write with no problems.... but there is no warning facility which I find rather unnerving G Cheers Richard -- Richard Kenward |
