can it be heat prob
my proccy runs at like 57C when playing games(48-core 1 46-core 2)

i think its got something to do with the RAM.try by using both stick one by one and see if u get an error

it seems to stop when i exit a game after like 1 minute. iwas playing fear when this happened

the syntax of the beep is
(beep.beep.beep.pause.beep.beep.beep.pause.beep.beep.beep.pause) like that. all are short beeps and the pause is short. i think it may be overheating. any help guys
this didnt use to happen before

overheating's sign is continous Hi-Lo beeps.
try that ram thing and also reinsert ur gfx card.

3-1-3Master interrupt mask register failureThe interrupt controller IC has failed

thats a real bad move to turn the beeps off . cant be 100% sure abt ram fault or just with the game but its so easy to find out.isnt it?
btw is ram OCed?

ram is not oced, system beeps isnt turning on. is there any way to see if its a bad ram
N
Feb 24, 2008 at 12:42 PM
ok.do this all-
1.reinsert ur gfx card.
2.insert ram stick one by one and see if u get a beep during POST
3.if nothing like that run memtest (or Ntune stability test) for all components including memory

it just happened suddenly ill tell the history. there was this lightning surge and my onboard lan isnt working so i put a external one. after that like yesterday this problem happened. is this related somehow?

it beeps instantly when i start crysis help guys
N
Feb 24, 2008 at 12:54 PM
thats for sure a hardware error then.. remove the lan,do the above and tell the result.

how can i remove the lan its onboard. i put a external one 2 days ago. now it also starts beeping like suddenly or stops i dont know why but the beep pattern is the same

im testing ram right now im running at one ram module only

it still beeps with one ram

i believe both my ram mods are ok and working wonderfully

i couldnt have been more stupid. there was so much dust in my pc. i removed my gfx cleaned it and its working fine up till now hopefully. whats wrong with my pc man one problem aftetr another after 2 days intervals. all are serious probs

after cleaning my pc my cpu temperature dropped by 15C!!!
now proc temp is 40(30-core 2, 25-core 1)

i guess it was purely cpu overheating. also just to be sure in device manager i turned off system speaker and used tweakui for stopping it. cant believe dust can cause overheating. i guess the natural enemy of pc is dust which leads to heat!!

First eterna why did u use sify's connection without a switch.I too have sify's connection but I installed a switch as fast as I could.So get a switch to protect your pc when connecting lan to a internet cable.
On more thing,the onboard lan got fried but maybe the new lan card u got is not properly inserted or is defective.So try removing/reinstalling the new lan card.

working fine bro. my isp has switches in his place and my connection comes from his switch . all his switches got fried too cost him 7k!!
i just had to clean up my pc and the temp dropped by 15degrees. now its running on 39 at idle and 50 in load. during the problem it was running at 63 in load so i guess that may have caused the prob. also i switched off system speaker
