Beep - during game play

[chrisjonesbath]

All,

OK I've a weird problem, or rather a mate has and he says it only started after I did something to his PC...

Well all I did was install a router for him. I replaced his USB modem with a router. So his PC is now actaully using the network card it came with. I'm going to be vague here, but the PC is a high-power Novatech gaming PC - 3Mhz or more with a powerful graphics card exactly as supplied by Novatech (no mods or overclocking). At the moment that is all I know.

Currently the PC works fine except when he runs the game NeverWinter nights (sp?). Then it starts to beep. I'm quite a distance away so just popping over to have a look is not easy. The beeps are not coming via the sound card but from the internal buzzer. Now I'm familiar with beeping at start-up to signify error conditions but I've never come across them when running an application.

Does anybody have any ideas where I might start to look for the cause. Is it possible that these are diagnostic beeps or something. Would they follow the usual BIOS codes?

Thanks for any pointers. Yes I do realise I'm being a bit vague! But I have to start somewhere :-)

Some machines can be set in the BIOS to beep/alarm when they get to a certain temperature. Its probably worth checking here 1st.

Or possibly the sound card is not set right in an application so its sending it's sound to the PC speaker instead. But I dont think its this.
