i have been gone a while ..., but i am back and i want to solve the problem!

After i got a radeon x850xt for my computer, so i could play oblivion better, i began to have a beeping sound everytime i played videogames. when doing nothing i was fine, but when playing games a fter a while i got beeping. i thought the problem was with my power supply and i installed a new power supply and new ram. however the computer continued to beep. I tried running it without a cover and it did not beep!
i tried to disable beeping in registry, but nothing seemed to happen. anyway because the beeping did not happen when the case was open i would guess that my graphics card is overheating. therefore i have a question, how can i disable the graphics card beeps. i think it has a seperate speaker and can only be disabled through some sort of program that controls the videocard. does catalyst control center, control the radeon x850xt? if so, how do i enter that, or the program that will allow me to disable the beeping in my graphics card.

the beeps are bios beeps to alert you to a problem,so that you can fix it before you sustain what can be expensive damage
note the beep code and check what it is telling you here

Not connecting the 4 pin power connector to this card will cause it to beep.
If this is connected, your power supply may not be supplying enough power during gaming. This would also cause this beep.

Please download this http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html and post your power supply voltages and temps while gaming and idle.

i did research and got a proper power supply which did not help. however i have just found a different location in the registry where beeps are, and i changed it, and for ten minutes already no beeps.


also i have been having beeps for many months, maybe a year, and my computer runs perfect, which is strange if the computer is overheating.

when you play games it puts the cpu under pressure and the tempretures climb see what this gives you
you can have it up on screen so you can keep an eye on it

Post you temps using the program Terrister gave you, this is important so we know whats going on, leaving the side off the computer and having the beeps go away does suggest a heat problem of some sort.

Are you using any kind of temp monitoring software? If so tell us what it is and what the reported temps are, some monitoring software allows you to set a min/max temp reading if either is reached a beep will occur.

I don't know how editing the registry can stop a bios beep so I would not do that

Lemonio

heh. i just fixed it, hurahh! it does not beep anymore. i turned of a beep code in the registry using the instructions from my troublsehooting on my computer.
it might still be overheating though. i have sensorview, but i could not open it while running games, and my computer does not beep when i am not running games, so it is pointless.

also this is inot a bios beep, i do not think. it is a repeated beeping, not a special sequence of beeps that means something, or WAS a repeated series of beeping

dai

a continuous beep usually indicates the cpu is o/heating
sensors view should open on screen if you click on it's icon in the task bar

Lemonio

it does, but the game minimizes, and the beepingstops almost immediatly
(used to)

check in the bios what tempreture the cpu is set to throttle back at it may be set to low
