A single beep from the motherboard.. and then slowdown

<< < (8/17) > >>

Truz:
well this pc is an hp pavilion (crap i know), but the motherboard inside is an ASUS P4T.


yea and the problem with the button and the stick cancelling each other out definately should not be happening. But it is weird as it does not happen in mame at all, and only occurs in the x-arcade test utlity.

I would recommend re-mapping every single button and joystick movement to letters only.  Then open up notepad to ensure they are all working right.  Try ghostkey and press any and every combo you can come up with.  Then move onto the x-arcade test utility.  Have you sent x-arcade an email regarding this - they may just come back and say its a bug in the utility '???'.  Then jump into mame and press all the buttons and move the joysticks to see if you can get it to happen.  Try and se if there is a pattern regarding which microswitches are being activates together or if it's just a number of microswitches thing.  The cancelling out after remapping is strange.

Truz:
well i remapped all the buttons and it was not successful. The beep still comes in at a random point. And thats the thing about it, i cannot reproduce the beeping as it is totally random and has no set pattern so it is hard to tell what is causing it.


The weirdes thing  its that i have not experienced this in any other game. I have even looked for it in similar games such as marvel vs streetfigher... but i havent seen it in that game.

Truz:
ok well i have still not figured this problem out and i have tried a lot of things.


I was thinking maybe it is an overheating problem.

So i have MotherBoard Monitor to tell me my temps. The temps it gives me after the beep occurs are 84 degrees farenheit for the case temp and 82 for the cpu temp. Are these too high? Also when idle in desktop the cpu temp levels off to about 77-78 degrees. Are these temps to high i dont really know what it too hot.


Also maybe it is a overheating gfx card problem. I placed my hand on the card (geforce3) and it seemed a bit warm. Anyone know how i can check the temp of the gfx card.

I still cant believe i have not yet fixed this oh so annoying problem.

Nailz:
Umm, yeah, that's way too high.  Did you ever try what I suggested earlier, and put some thermal grease on your CPU so you will have better contact between the cpu and the fan?
