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.
 
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.
 
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.

I found out that if I use atitool to turn up the fans to 100% at 75C it doesnt overheat. I've decided to build a whole new desktop and throw in this video card so tell me what you think. Of course I'm gonna get some arctic silver for it. but:

CPU: Pentium D 930 3.0GHz
MOBO: ECS 045PL
RAM: 1GB (2x512) Corsair XMS2
CASE: Raidmax sagitta
PSU: 450W from case
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 160GB Sata
GPU: The X850 PE

My budget is $590 and this is about $25 under.
