Am using Win98se. Installed an Asus V9280/TD, along with Asus SmartDoctor. When running a game, the system starts beeping(low tone, high tone, etc.)--could SmartDoctor cause this?

That is your heat alarm going off....could be bios, could be smartdoctor or probe or whatever... but you have a heat problem.
CPU is at 102°, system is 104°. Alarm is intermitant--will beep a few times, stop, then beep again a few seconds later. It only happens when running certain games.Quote:

Are your temperatures in farenheit or centrigrade?
CPU is at 102°F, system is 104°F. Which driver should be used? The Asus driver or the Nvidia one? The same games which cause beeping also do not display right--lines are added, video is distorted, etc.Quote:

Am using win98se on a Gigabyte GA-7IXE4 mobo, with 300W of power. Is the video card compatable with the mobo? AGP of the video card is listed as 2X/4X/8X, but the mobo is showing 1X? Is the power used on the video card more than the mobo can put out?Quote:

Yes, that board only runs 2x at best on agp I think. It's an old board and mine always had heat issues.
Is the voltage output by the mobo 3.3V? Could the video card be "overclocking" the mobo, causing the beeping?Quote:

Would this help?(Change the AGP from 1X to 2X?)Quote:

The bios needs to be set and the nvidia utils need to be set to the same.
