As of late my computer will just turn off and my MB will put out a siren sound? Im guessing its a [h]ardware prob but im not sure what the best was to trouble shoot it is?

How do I know what could be causing this?

MB, Powersupply, Memory,cpu. fan? Etc etc etc

Possibly overheating? How long is it on before it does this? You may be able to look at the BIOS and get a temperature reading for the CPU, see if it climbs up and up then shuts off.
 
How hot it too hot? It seems to max out around 132f? Is this to hot?

Dam ive been away from the [H] scene for to long.

Thanks

change the temps to C instead of F, it makes life easier.

If you are just sitting there in the BIOS then that is probably too hot. If you do any gaming or anything intensive at all while in Windows it will go even higher.

Make certain there isn't a bunch of dust cluttering all of the fans up (assuming you have some) and the CPU fan. Maybe remove and remount the CPU using some Artic Silver and see if that helps.
 
The temp got to 132 while I was encoding a video(cpu %100).

I took the the memory and cpu out and re-seated them both. Now when I start my system it powers up but I get no picture and I never get a 'post beep'.


Any help would be great.
Thanks
