Odd thing with my computer...

Well, this seems to only happen when I'm playing a game, the computer speaker beeps like a car alarm sometimes. It's happened twice this morning while playing Devastation, and once yeserday playing Nascar 2003. Anybody have any idea why it could be doing this? The only way I can seem to get rid of it is to reset the comp.

i think it's your computer telling you to get rid of that crap Devestation!

Nah, just happened in Postal 2 also. I just really want to know how turn off the PC speaker if it isn't a major problem (which it shouldn't be) And Devastation SP is actually quite neat, I like it. Nothing special, but kind of nice.[/b]

Your computer is dieing, you need a new one, even though it's probably a a few years old.

I think it's just overheating a bit...And no, I'm not getting a new computer, fine the way it is.

On my old computer I would turn it on and it would freeze after 15 minutes cause it overheats. I went to get it fixed and found out i needed to get a new power suply cause my fan wasnt running. Maybe this is happening to u.

No, no, it was shutting down last week, but it just needed to be cleaned, ass load of dust. This is just a thing with the PC speaker making a sound like a car alarm that's really fucking annoying.

how long have you had your speakers? i've had mine for over 2 years and it never ahd any problem, none, ever

Slinky2397 · 04-19-2003, 05:09 PM

It's not the actual speakers. It's the PC speaker, inside of the computer. You know, it's like on the motherboard, the one that bitches if you hold a button like ctrl too long (at least for me when I play DoD)

id put my money on over heating. try taking the cover off & put a fan beside it & play again. if it dosent beep then you know you have a heat problem.

Yeah, it's overheating.

...yeah, sounds like overheating...jus remove the case and place ice-cubes on all horizontal surfaces in comp.,
replace case...also, keep most often used CDs in freezer. cool:

It worked!

Actually, it hasn't happened to me since, so it may just be a random thing. Yesterday I played Unreal 2 for like 5 hours straight and it didn't do it so it might be. I don't know..
