every thing is working fine gateway 1.8 CPU 256 meg ram had a not so legal xp pro on it I found the original restore disks so I put the correct XP home on it Updated all the drivers and service PAC 2 now ever 5 or 10 min. I hear a low pitch beep and a higher pitch beep maybe like 5 seconds each CPU fan going? memory checks out, OK I removed all cards, AGP and PCI reseated memory cards reseated the CPU fan no luck still beeps. :dunno never did this till I put xp home on it. PC belonged to MY sister. (bought from gateway new) after a few years she got a nasty virus. She got fed up with it and gave it to me. I formated it and stuck in XP Pro SP2 never had it on the internet. The other day I thought I would give this PC a try on the web. She had the restore disks. ( she said they did not work) I had no problems at all with them I went to my father in laws house (high speed internet there) did like 2 hours of updating and seems great but now the stupid beeps. |

And you get what... beeping and all black screen? Does it stop somewhere? You can often find the meaning of the beeps in the mainboard manual and maybe on internet. |
| daywane:
no problems with pc as beeps come and go there is no noticable effect. dvd copies game play as I type to you a set of beeps the PC shows no problems |
| Loki:
Ah, so it's a windows thing... didn't read right, I'm a bit tired :P I found some topic that sounds like a similar problem http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt-2000-xp/523530-windows-xp-beeping.html I hope you can find something useful in it. btw, does it come out of your normal pc speakers or the little one inside your pc. |
| daywane:
internal speaker I will check out your link on google all I can find is a boot problem I do not have anything like that. starting to think a bad driver I did change modems after installing gateways aps (fax and what not) also I changed keyboards. |
