P4PE Overheated CPU Symptoms
I have the following system:
•P4PE/LAN/1394/SATA-UAY •Pentium4 3.06GHz / 533MHz FSB •512MB PC2700 DDR333 •NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 128MB (A-G446) •Midi Tower Case with 350W PSU The problem is ten minutes after powering on my computer, it starts beeping with short high frequency sounds during a scroll operation in an Internet Explorer webpage or other CPU intensive operations (playing videos, games, etc) as it is mentioned in the manual for overheated CPU problem. Strange thing is normal operations like browsing the file system, running simple applications (like text editor, emailer or MS Office) or even editing pictures (in Photoshop) don't trigger any sound. I watched the temperature with Asus Probe and MBM and I've got 32 Celsius degrees for the case and 38-55 Celsius degrees for CPU. The Intel datasheet (ftp://download.intel.com/design/Pent...s/29864311.pdf) says the temperature range should be from 5 to 69 Celsius… Anybody solved a similar problem? Please help. TIA, Aegyssus |

Christian Thanks for your reply Christian. I'm using the last I found on ASUS website: P4PE BIOS 1007. I touched the cpu sink and it doesn't seem too hot... Anybody has an idea where the thermal sensor is placed? I start thinking it could be a problem with this one... TIA, Aegyssus |

Thanks for your reply Christian.

I start thinking it could be a problem with this one... TIA, Aegyssus The thermal sensor is on the processor itself. The stock Intel fan also has a thermistor which controls the rpms of the fan according to the ambient temps. If you have QFan enabled in the bios, try turning it off and let the fan itself do it's own thing. Ed --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi,
I did have similar symptoms with my P4PE w/P4, 2.66 especially running 3D games programs. I changed to a better power supply, Antec 430 watts psu. Problems gone. If your psu is one of those generic ones that came with the casing, it might not have adequate current, resulting in voltage drop. Regards, N.S. "Aegyssus Daciccus" wrote in message om...

Ed Many thanks Ed for your reply, QFan was already disabled; I enabled it just for testing purposes but nothing changed. |

Thanks a lot for suggestion. I thought to buy a better PSU but I was
waiting a confirmation from somebody who already had the same problem and solved it this way. I'm gonna post the results. "N.S.Ng" wrote in message ...

Finally I changed the power supply unit with another one at 500W
(maybe it's too much) and everything is normal now. Thank you all for your support; it helped me to make me a better idea about my problem. |
