Why does my computer beep all the time?

[xcdtowg]

I'm not clocking it, its all running default. Sorry i had a problem with my d/l, trying another now.

[xcdtowg]

i tried downloading and installign the hardware doctor, but i keep getting the same error when i go to run it..."Run time error '52' Bad file name or number."

[TheBlueRaja]

You did restart your PC yeah?

[xcdtowg]

Yep, restarted the pc.

back to the shop sounds like a good idea

[xcdtowg]

Dont worry man, i was only wondering if there was a quick fix. Thanks for your help though! I'll research it again later on when it annoys me!

I cannot get HW Doctor to run either - same error message

Ditto here.

Same here. I presume it only works on a particular motherboard, though - could that be the problem?

[AndrewJ]

Thought it would state on the site, I assume we all got it from the first link on a google search??


If so I will try to find a alternative download for it.

Rather unusal as my pc runs a Gigabyte Mobo and dont have issues.

Well, like i said i got it with my MOBO, but both his and my motherboard are Abits - would have thought it would have worked.

Maybe not though...

version 3.2 works for me, but I'm on W98se with a biostar nforce2 mobo?

silly question time - xcdtowg, is it possible you already have a hardware monitor running & it is that generating the beeps?

- sorry if that's lame, but i had to ask

Intermittent beeps, short ones.... hmmm i would hazard a guess at a ps2 device, either the mouse or keyboard, might be shorting on specific movement (mouse) or keypress (keyboard)

If it was major hardware (ram etc..) then it would constantly beep....... or just not work at all......... its unusual for that sort of hardware to cause an intermittent beep fault..



I would recommend replacing your kb and mouse....... should cost ya around £15 for a cheap set,
