Alarm sounds on GA-6BXE?
Installed new Antec power supply to this board.
Boots etc BUT sounds an alarm the whole time it's on. Antec manual says mobo "may not detect fans running less than 950 rpm and will sound alarm." How do I turn off alarm? Bios chip set features show "Fan Fail Alarm" have it set to "NO" but alarm still sounds. Please help. Xeno |

Alarm sounds on GA-6BXE?
Did you fix this problem.?
I have just resurected a GA-6BXE to run a linux box. It works fine except for a two-tone sound from the case speaker that wont go away. I tried quite a few things and the CPU fan is running OK. |

Alarm sounds on GA-6BXE?
Found it!
The new power supply that I fitted did not provide -5 volts. That appears to be dropped on later PSUs ??? The motherboard still worked but complained about the abscence by displaying it as -61 volts in the bios. That must have been wrong because there was nothing connected to the -5volts pin of the motherboard power connector. Changing the PSU for one that listed -5v and had a cable going to the pin cured the problem. |
