I've noticed that while playing counter-strike my pc speaker beeps.

Like 10 minutes into playing the pc speaker beeped once. like 10 minutes later it beeped twice.

So i shut the game off, and watched a DivX Movie (Alien VS Pred). 25 minutes and no beeps. So I load CS back up and while its connecting to a game the computer shuts right off and turns back on. I heard the HDD's power down and power up..

nothing since. im lost, haven't been able to find anything about it on the net.

Anyone have some insight?

 

ecu might be over heating. those beeps are a warning.

 

temps are 44c max on the cpu..

 

I'm going to install a logger to log the voltages/temps of the computer... we'll see..

anyone know if the new power supplies work on p3's?

i notice all new PSU's arep4/AMD Support but will it work on a older p3 too?

 

Yep it will work fine. Sounds like either an overtemp issue or a voltage drop. Looks like you have things under control so far.

 

if it aint broke dont fix it :P

 

go look up what the beep tones are. There is a guide to that for your motherboard I think.

 

so i imagie 13.3v on the 12v rail isnt good

stupid PSU.. never crashes really, just beeps. lol.

upgrade not too far away

 

antec and enermax, only people(i trust and use) that make a cheap/good power supply.
here if you dont know how to get them cheap(well for $40ish):

i would pop for a antec case with powersupply since its only $20 more. you can save ur self $20 when building a computer by using a cheap case and powersupply but your gonna spend aleast $20 to replace a bad power supply with another shitty one. just pop for the good stuff the first time.

 

i completely agree. next case is going to be a Antec Sonata w/ 380w TruePower.

(will a truepower 380 work on a p3 board and cpu until i upgrade?)
