What was the last thing you did to your system? Hardware or software... Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. 2:12.80 minutes-GPLRank:345 and falling.. Never argue with an idiot.

Hello, I have a K7M from ASUS, Athlon 700, 128Megs, TNT2 and a 3DFX2 12megs (for GPL only). Since 2 days everytime I use the 3DFX (like GPL or a 3DFX screensaver but not rally master for example) the MB is making some beeps, the game runs, but the mobo is making some beeps, not only the usual beep, but beeps with a different tone, it sounds really EXACTLY the very old PONG games from the late 70's... On one hand it is really funny to hear blip, blonk and so on but I am a little concerned about it. has anyone got this problem before ? and a way to solve it ? Thx a lot

Thx for your answer...BUT I did.....NADA. Nothing, nope, I installed the discofix patch for GPL, worked for 3 days and then started beeping... but I didn't do anything regarding the video board or MB or 3DFX... (And i do 9.26.50 at the ring...)

There is either some conflict with a background program running or a conflict with your video card setup.... I would make sure that all tasks are closed (except systray and explorer) and see if the problem goes away. If not, I would try re-installing the drivers for your video card. -- **************************** Michael E.

Thx for the input, but why would the beeping occur only when i use my 3DFX on a screen saver or GPL ?
