      Question beeping

      Just put together a new systym
      P4 2.66 processor
      Gigabyte GA-8Ik1100 mobo
      2 x 256 DDR pc 2700 ram
      128 G-Force 4 ti 4200 8x vidio
      creative sound blaster live 5.1 audio

      dvd rom primary slave
      burner secondary slave
      serial ata 120g hdd as 3rd master
      when I enable fan stop alarm in bios I get a constant short beep
      If I disable it , it goes away however when I start playing games it comes back on but not always straight away
      I am also getting a static noise every now and again coming through my speakers in gaming
      The book says that constant short beeps is a power error
      HELP PLEASE

      What kind of heatsink are you using for the CPU?

      The fan on the CPU must have 3 pins in order to let the MB monitor the fan, if this is right what you have then check that your CPU fan is placed at the properly conector.

      MB utility

      If you have a MB utility check CPU temp/fan monitoring.
      I finally got the two ends to meet. Now I see I have two more ends to work with.

      Sounds like TWO issues there.
      1. For correct monintoring, the CPU fan must be a 3 pin with all 3 used, and it must be in the CPU fan point, and not one of the other fan headers.

      2. More beeping, under Graphics load - sounds like the PSU isn't man enough for the job
      You may also notice it on a CD Burn - or that burning fails

      thanks guys but I fixed it
      The fan stop alarm was the smart fan systym setting it off due to the change in speeds, the alarm in gaming was the processor temp alarm set to low,and the static was bf1942 road to rome without the patch.
      Thanks for your time and help
