It makes an occasional mysterious beep but I cant find anything in logs or
programs to suggest whats making it (quite a tease)
Does anyone know if the bios might make a beep (long after bootup) when it
finds certain difficulties?
I have the same problem. It seems to have something to do with the keyboard
as it only happens while typing and mostly while using the arrow keys. Like
you said, it doesn't happen all the time; maybe once or twice a day and it
doesn't seem to do any harm, it just snaps me out of computer comma for a
second or two. One of these days I'll have to try a different keyboard and
see if that helps. I'm running WinXP using an A7V8X-X with an AMD 2400+ and
512mb.
Keyboard eh? I think my mysterious beeps might have a different...more
sinister cause, lol. First I thought PSU, so I underclocked everything,
then, board overheating, nope, then i toggled stacks of critical bios
settings, sometimes no beep for hours and then....
BEEP!
Its really poor form to make a BeeP without so much as a tip as to what the
heck its for.
So it just means:
'somethings wrong'.....
3 hours later,'somethings wrong again btw'
8 hours later,'the wrong thing happened again'
18.324 hours later...'Beep'
Today I reseated the dimms (despite thorough memtesting) and so far no more
beeps...
Im probably deluding myself, considering my previous efforts the odds of
this thing not beeping again soon are meager.
Actualy I will delude myself - sure feels great to have fixed that beep at
long last :]
