[SOLVED] Weird noise when booting

allovher · 11-30-2007, 12:21 PM

I have a pc that makes a weird dial up type tone when I boot up and it's doing its self test, then it never loads the bios. It might load the bios but it wont let me into the settings, so im guessing its not getting that far. Anyway, my real question is whats that sound?

That is difficult to say. How long since you have blown the dust out of your fans, heatsink, cpu fan, and power supply area?

checked all that, theres no dust. It wasnt a mechanical whine, it was the MB speaker making modem-ish noise during post. ?

found it, for some reason changing the mouse keyboard splitter fixed it. I think it was going i/o the wrong way

I will thanks, as long as there are no "forum tough guys" here, theres nothing worse then someone that derives self esteem from being the bad boy of the forum, its just pathetic. Im sure thats not the case here though.
