mystery problem

bebopin64 · 07-19-2006, 10:39 PM

Whenever I play Battlefield 2 for more than zbout 5 minutes a beeping sound starts issueing from my computer. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. My first thought was that the CPU was overheating but in the past I have had no problems with running BF2 it was just a sudden start.

Are you playing the game on your laptop's battery? If you are it just means your battery is almost dead and you have to plug it in. But if you are not using your laptop and using your desktop then maybe it is just because you are pressing too many buttons on the keyboard too many times. By the way this can also go if you are using it on your laptop.

im not that much of a noob

its not cause of pressing too many buttons and it is my desktop. it is the same beep as the too many buttons but at regular intervals of about 5 seconds. im not good at estimating the time. when i get a minute i will measure it exactly.

Your sure it isn't your cpu? If it isn't then I don't know what it could be... sorry

im not sure it isnt the cpu i just thought it might not be because it has handled bf2 in the past.

I actually asked my friend who is amaing in computers... he said the problem is your graphics card that is over heating. But I am not too sure maybe you should check.

what video card are you using?

bebopin64 · 07-20-2006, 02:27 AM

im using a radeon x850 platinum 256mb its a pretty capable card.

bebopin64 · 07-20-2006, 03:00 AM

well after further investigation ( i opened the case and listened) i have seen that it is the video card. Now ive run into a bigger problem after lowering the core clock 40mhz from stock and the mamory clock 80mhz it still overheats and beeps. What could be causing this and how can i fix it?

Hello,

My suggestion will be to purchase a cooling unit for your graphics card. The fan or heat sync on it is not producing enough power.

I will suggest you getting the following :

Arctic Cooling

You will need to put that on your graphics card.. It will help a lot.

Regards -

Joe
