Help
Hi Guys
This morning I am sitting with a problem with my PC: Here are my specs
AMD Athlon 1.33 Ghz CPU
Asus Socket 462 A7V133-VM Motherboard
256 MB SD RAM
Wireless Card
30 GB Maxtor HDD
CD RW Drive
Award Medallion V6.00 Bios
I mainly use this PC for Data capture and accounting purposes so its not a gaming machine. I turned the machine on and suddenly the PC Speaker started screaming, I managed to get in the bios and checked the voltage and CPU settings which were ok. It read CPU temp @ 30 degrees centigrade. I disconnected the PC Speaker because it was annoying me because everything else was normal. It was OK yesterday. I wanted to install ASUS Probe to monitor the Temp and Fan Speed when the PC Froze and went blank.
Please help, my company is at stake and the PC was purchased two days ago
Regards
Roger

"I turned the machine on and suddenly the PC Speaker started screaming,"
You'll have to be a little clearer on that.
Do you mean it made one long beep ?
Like Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ?
If so check to make sure the memory is seated properly.
" I disconnected the PC Speaker "
I assume you mean the speaker that attaches to the motherboard inside the computer ?
You need to hook the speaker back up .
You won't know when the problem is actually fixed if you don't know when the beep goes away.

Hi guys
It seems the system is running ok now with my Aircon ontop of it. I am also trying to update the bios. Why does the AMD processor's get so hot ?
