Hi guys,
Not sure where else to post this so its gone here
Last night, and once when I built the machine, it made a two tone alarm noise, quite loud, then shut itself down without any warning. The alarm noise continues to sound until the mains supply is ditched.
The machine has only been built for media centre, but I do use it now and then for CS. The highest temp I have seen the CPU at is when playing CS, 55C. It is not overclocked.
The main spec is
AMD 3200+ Barton
Abit NF7-S2G nForce2
512 Corsair
Asus V9570GE GeForce FX 5700LE 256MB
Enermax Noisetaker 485 W
Coolermaster Wavemaster case
Any ideas? I know that that sort of CPU temp is a bit high, but the machine is very rarely stressed, and where it is situated next to the TV, there is little chance of improving the cooling. Somehow I don't think this is cooling related though?
