Anyone else got any thoughts/advice? :) Those beeps are bugging me.

I've completely checked everything and I can't see anything loose. Is it worth taking my RAM out and reseating it to eliminate it? I could also disconnect my HD to try that I guess. I honestly don't think these beeps are indicative of a big problem, but the not knowing is bugging me :mad:

I really don't think it's the card as it does it whether it is in or out. Could going back to the default BIOS settings cause any damage to anything?

I'm still getting the 2 beeps(very close together) despite trying a bunch of different things. Also, perhaps worryingly, when booting up the system is completely bypassing the hardware scan and going straight to the Windows XP logo :confused: I''ve looked inside the case and I can't see...

MSI MS-6741 Athlon 64 3400+ 2.2GHz Seasonic S12 430W Seagate 200GB M- Audio Audiophile 192 No o/c's :)

I'll check everything out thoroughly, but like I said - before I installed those drivers everything was fine, only one beep etc.

The card seems to be in fine, before I installed those Omega drivers I wasn't getting the beeps. I have downloaded and installed the ATI Catalyst 7.12 drivers and I'm still getting those beeps. Maybe it's something I can fix in the BIOS? :confused:

I got a Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro today, installed everything and all was well. I played a game(Pro Evolution Soccer 2008) and noticed it was a little stuttery on the highest settings so decided to go download the highly recommended Omega 7.12 drivers from Omegadrivers.net. I installed...

*bump* :)

I just opened up Driver Cleaner Pro, and it is version 1.2 which I assume is a couple of years out of date now. Problem is, I can't seem to find an updated version :confused: All I can find is a version you have to pay $9.99 for here - http://www.drivercleaner.net/ I don't know if such an old...

I'm not sure which drivers come with the card, but I'm not pleased with those I'll go for the 7.12 :)

I switched from ATI to Nvidia a couple of years ago just by running driver cleaner then installing all the Nvidia stuff and had no problems. Like you though, I want to make sure everything is right. I know 450w is recommended, but I have been told(here actually) that my Seasonic S12 430w...

Just ordered a Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro AGP to replace my now dated 6600GT. As I'm switching from Nvidia to ATI, I'm gonna need to get rid of the Nvidia Drivers. Been a long time since I've done this, do you have any advice? What is the best and most efficient way of doing it? I have Driver...

Well thanks :(

Now the fan is constantly making a loud noise, but the temperature is staying pretty low :confused: I'll probably just throw it out when I get my new one.

Anyone? I know it's a bit of an outdated card these days, but if there's any chance I can fix it in order to sell it on I'd like to know :)

I've also noticed that it always seems to stop doing it at a certain point, usually when the temp gets to around 53-54c :confused:

In the last couple of weeks I have noticed a bizarre noise coming from the inside of my case, that sounded like a car engine or something. It only happened on startup so when I switched the machine off and restarted, all would be well. In the last few days though it has started doing it out of...

Cool, thanks :)

It says so in System Info For Windows, here's a screen capture:- I know absoloutely nothing about overclocking so I was thinking if I got my speed up to 3Ghz then it couldn't be considered as so as that is it's maximum speed. I hope that makes sense . Thanks for the link - I'll take a...

...and perhaps a lame one at that, but if you don't ask you don't get :) My Athlon 64 3400+ runs at 2.2Ghz, but according my system info it can run at a top speed of 3Ghz. Can I manually up the speed myself via the BIOS or whatever? I'm getting an X1950 pro video card(AGP) and I'm thinking...

Fantastic :)

Here's my specs:- MSI MS-6741 Athlon 64 3400+ 2.2MHz Seagate ST3200822AS 200GB HD Sony DVD Drive Sony DVD-RW drive M-Audio Audiophile 192 soundcard I'm pretty optimistic about this! :D

I'm upgrading my 6600GT(see my other thread) and was gonna go for either a Leadtek 7600GT or a Sapphire 2600XT but this one is on special offer for £100 which is very reasonable. Only problem is, I don't have the funds to buy a new PSU on top of this. I've read a 450w+ one is recommended, and...

I would love to buy that one, but being as it's after Christmas I just don't currently have the money to get that and the new PSU(my current one is 430w, it needs 550+) to run it.

Actually, just read through some reviews on the 2600XT and it seems there are a lot of driver issues, i.e ATI don't make up to date drivers for it etc :(

Thanks for your replies :) It now looks like it's between the Leadtek 7600GT and the Sapphire Radeon 2600XT. It seems the 2600XT is more powerful, but like I say - I'm a bit iffy about going back to ATI. Would the 2600XT run OK with my specs? They are as follows:- MSI MS-6741 Athlon 64...

Thanks, that might be worth thinking about :) I've had problems with ATI cards in the past though, and changing from Nvidia back to ATI would mean I have to clean out the drivers. It's worth it though if the card is even better.

I'm also looking at this one on Ebay:- http://tinyurl.com/2u6esd

Thanks for your reply, and I completely see where you're coming from :) I'm not a big gamer though, infact the only games I play at the moment are Pro Evolution Soccer 2008(Winning Eleven in the US), Hitman: Blood Money and Outrun 2006. It runs all of these really well, the only one it...

Count me in :) I currently have a 6600GT but am about to upgrade to a 7600GT, see my current thread for details :)

My Leadtek Nvidia 6600GT has served me really well for the last 2 and a half years, but it is now starting to struggle with some of the new games around. I bought this machine just before PCI Express came on the scene so it has to be an AGP card I upgrade to. Ideally I want one that will save...

Awesome - thanks for all the info :) I'll probably go with the recommended Crucial sticks, I know they should be fine and stable and it should be quite a difference in speed/quality from what I currently have :)

Many thanks for your replies :) I forgot to specify that I only have 2 slots, and I have an Athlon 64 3400+, running at 2200mhz. I have no plans to overclock. I'm a little confused as to which speeds of RAM will be compatible with my motherboard(MSI MS-6741) - the Crucial system scan gave a...

I do a lot of music recording and 1GB just isn't cutting it anymore, particularly with some of the resource hungry plugins I tend to use. I know little about RAM but I did a system scan via the Crucial UK site and it recommended 2x 1GB of DDR PC2700(CT12864Z335). I currently have 2x 512MB...

I'm probably gonna try simpy putting some tape around the 2 black arms on the fan holder to create enough tension to stop the whining.

How would I use the cable ties? Put them in between the fins? Sounds like a promising idea but I'm just wondering how you would suggest I do it.

No, the angle of the fan blowing into the silver fins is what's causing it. Like I said, I've been told not to cover those fins under any circumstances as I'll have a heat problem on my hands. So I'm pretty stumped now.

I've been told covering the fins is a bad idea as they are what dissipate the heat - is this true? Pretty new to all this as you can tell.

*bump* anyone?
