The first Kentucky dude caller sounded as if he got hit by the seasonal jew mind virus and felt the need to spread it through the RBN airways via your show BB9. lol
@bb9, smart hardware making dumb noises.
I'm sure that you remember that high pitch sound that I made you hear over the phone. I thought that it was a PSU capacitor getting ready to explode but it turns out that it was the PSU warning me that the CPU fan had failed. I feel like such a dumbass. LOL
After cleaning all the dust and replacing the the CPU heat sink and fan, the computer would not boot up. This is why I called you Friday evening. I wanted to brainstorm with you about this.
When I would turn on the computer I couldn't hear the usual beep that used to tell me that the bios was loading but every peripheral was getting power though including the CPU fan.
So now I was thinking that the CPU had blown somehow but when I swapped it for another I had on another motherboard, the rig was still behaving the same way. Now I was really scratching my head. The only thing left to do was to start getting drunk at the corner store while watching the hockey game lol. After nearly getting arrested for pissing in the snow I come back home and call Voltman. I tell him all about this and then he brings up RAM but when RAM fails it also does a beeping sound alerting to this.
I then go to bed thinking that now I have to change the motherboard. I wake up the next morning find some extra RAM and as I am looking at the new unopened RAM in front of me, I start thinking about that beeping sound it should make when failing which gives me the idea to remove the existing RAM and start the computer again. Sure enough it does that annoying beeping sound but when I inserted it back in its slot the computer proceeded to boot up again and that is how I wondered into the fetcho chat that Saturday morning.
The CPU used to be a dual core 3.2 ghz now it is a quad core 3.8. All of a sudden I now can play h265 1080p videos. I thought that this was not working well because I was using the onboard GPU but as it turns out it was just a lack of CPU power.
All is well that ends well without having to spend a penny. This rig now feels like it's flying...BTW, I solved the XP lack of ram problem by allocating an sd drive as virtual memory. Not as fast as RAM but sure does the job.
Good job, zapoper!
Wow! That brought back some memories about all those Early PC and Apple sytems . . , The Low Level Hardware Diagnostics sent out the Speaker as "Beep Code"!!!
I remember an "Assembler/Machine Code" class in college where we had to write a Program that would test each of those Audio Diagnostics you had to know at the time. We did code for the Apple 6055 and the Intel 8080 micro-processors! How 's that for a Grandpa Tale? lol
Glad you got it fixed. I still say Windows XP with Service Pack II was one of the best things Microsoft ever did this side of MS-DOS 3.2! lol
Good Troubleshoot!
