my friend's computer has been giving him some problems lately. It boots to windows, but then after 2 or 3 minutes, it starts beeping, and the beeping gets faster and faster. The system monitor program "Abit EQ" shows the PCI-E voltage steadily increasing up to 1.80v. Then the computer goes haywire.
I took the fan guard off the GPU HS and cleaned all the dust out, put it back together and now the PCI-E voltage seems to be hovering at about 1.66v.
Stats:
Windows XP professional SP3
AMD Athlon64 x2 4200+ @ 2.21GHz
1x1GB PC2-6400
Nvidia GeForce 7300 GS @ 550Mhz(core) 532MHz(ram)
mobo: Abit KN9(NF-MCP55P) NB/SB-nForce 570SLI
I was just wondering if there was anything else I should do/check before giving it back to him. All help is much appreciated. Thanks
