Question Video card problem? CPU overheating? or motherboard problem?
I'm currently using:
AMD 1800
GeForce 4 FX5200
512 RAM
4 small fans
temperature - CPU 41-42 C, Case 51-52 C

Whenever I play games, my pc will hang and make siren sound, like beep beep beep when I reset my pc. Sometimes it will auto restart. So, what's wrong with my pc?

you didn't mention the O/S but you might try looking at the system logs in the control panel under Administrative Tools> Event Viewer...

This should give you a clue as to what software/hardware is causing the problem...

Good Luck

Hi wei and welcome to Dev Shed.

How many beeps is it, or is it just continous until you reboot the machine ?

Download the application and then burn the 'iso' image to a cd. Insert the cd in the drive and then re-boot the machine making sure to change the boot order in the BIOS so it boots from CD first and then the application wil run. It doesn't run from inside Windows.

Update your sound drivers and that should sort your sound problems out.

As for not shutting down, what version of Windows are you using ?

You would probably be able to download sound drivers from the Windows update site. Look for something like 'AC97' sound drivers. Failing that, use CPU-Z to determine your motherboard and we'll find your drivers from there.

What, those are the details under CPU ?? Strange, those are your graphics and multimedia chipsets.
