My computer keeps crashing.

[ekornmeyer]

I built my computer about 7 years ago. Recently it has decided to start crashing. After the computer shuts down it starts beeping. Kinda sounds like:

Booooooo Beeeeeeeee Boooooooo Beeeeeeee Boooooooo Beeeeeeee

etc.

This happens when I watch videos or try to play any sort of game (even on the lowest possible video settings). I have updated drivers for everything.

My specs:

Radeon 9600 (lol)
Athlon 2500+ (lol)
Abit NF7-S Motherboard (lol)

OBVIOUSLY I need a new computer... but I was wondering if anyone knew something I could do to prevent the constant crashes this POS does.

Google for your System and what those Beep codes mean. Trying to type them out means nothing to us. As it could be anything. Each system is unique in what their beep codes mean.

A two-tone siren, generally caused by overheating or out of specification voltages

That would be the one. Although I have 4 fans...

Just because there is 4 fans doesnt mean they can keep the CPU from over heating. Could be that the heat sink is not mounted right. Could be that the fan on the heat sink is not functioning or blowing the air back onto the CPU. Many things it could be.
