8KNXP Random Beeps playing game
"Striker" wrote in message ...
While playing Tiger Woods 2004 I get a low pitched beep every now and then. Could someone tell me what's causing this. Thanks, I, too, get sporadic beeps. My system is currently using the latest (F10) bios, and I have 5 case fans in my system -- I've checked and re-checked, and temperatures are all fine. (I should also point out that my first 8KNXP failed a month ago; Gigabyte replaced it, as it was under warranty, but even the replacement mobo beeps sporadically.) As another poster has mentioned, I suspect that it's a misinterpretation of the CPU fan speed and/or temperature (for any one of a number of reasons) by the BIOS. I have found that disabling fan/temperature warnings can reduce the number of beeps, but they still occur ever so often (if I've been playing a game for a little while). |

Have you considered unplugging the internal speaker?
I did this on day one as the normal Post beep was louder than I could tolerate. - Tim "Kris Vorwerk" wrote in message om... "Striker" wrote in message ...
