    Single Random Beep


    hello all :)

    i have a new build it is up and running fine except i get these random beeps coming from inside the case, i think it's the internal system speaker..

    it will beep like once now then again randomly in 30mins then again in 2hours etc

    my temperatures are normal so it's not a overheating problem

    here is my temp results - http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/1343/85898413.jpg

    disabling beep in device manger doesn't fix it either.

    i ran prime95 and the highest temp was 65 and my alarm was set to 80 so it's not that

    i also tried changing memory voltage from 1.5 to 1.65 didnt work either

    is it true i must do this? i dont see it working though because it's just power saving features

    you must disable Intel turbo,C1E,C3/C6,EIST,C.I.A.

    My Build is

    Intel i5-750
    4GB Kingston Ram
    Gigabyte p55a-udr3 motherboard
    WD velociraptor
    WD caviar black
    nvidia g240 graphics card
    LG blue ray combo drive
    coolermaster CM 900 advanced case with the 3 stock fans
    silverstone strider 500watt PSU
    Windows 7 Ultimate (32-Bit)

    Bios F6, tried to update to F8 but when i try to install it says ntvdm.exe has stopped working and troubleshoot doesnt fix it

    i would only have running say firefox, msn and some music :|

    waiting on reply from gigabyte tech support

    thanks

    i have disabled C1E,C3/C6 and havnt heard any beep for a good 8 hours, temps have gone up a little which is normal but nothing major, tomorrow i will try enable one and vise versa to see which one sends out the beep

    i will also try install the new bios via USB

    edit - ok BIOS updated changed the settings back to auto, wait and see
