Hello,
Ive recently started having problems with the computer beeping. It's a constant beep and starts about 2-3 minutes after turning it on. It began about a week ago with only a beep here and there. Any ideas? Thanks so much, any help is much appreciated!! the beeping is making me crazy

Welcome to PCHF

Would you say that apart from the beeping there are no other problems with your PC?

thanks for replying. yes aside from the beeping, there is no other evident problems. no slow down in software or anything. thoughts?

to me it sounds like the processor is going over a pre set leval check in your bios.

to do this restart computer keep pressing F10 or deleate when you get into bios go to pc health and just wach the cpu temp and see if it gose of while you are in there. to get out of this screen just keep hiting the esc button or rest your computer. but take a note to see if there is any alarm leveals set.

thanks so much that was it. the alarm was sounding because the temp was hitting the 60 degree cel. mark. appreciate your time!

thats ok you should give your computer a good clean in that area and check the fan is working. make sure you get rid of all the dust from around the heat sink and cpu as i don't think your cpu should realy be hitting that high in temp.

Other thing you can try is install a new fan. The standard cooling fans of Intel are not really that great. Maybe you already own an other fan, but to me it seems it can't handle with the heat. Are you sure that your other fans are working well? When the airflow in your case is bad, the heat can't go away, so the fan can't do his work properly.
