Asus SmartDoctor cause system beeping?

**sethfp** · July 1st, 2004, 09:33 PM

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.

Then the game is increasing the heat output.

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.

Which Video driver you using now ?
If you have an nVida type Video card (GeForce or FX)
I'd use nVida's .

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?
This is what the readme says:
"ASUS display cards consume more electrical power so that your motherboard must be able to provide enough electrical current in 3.3V power to maintain its normal operation."

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?

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