Hehe, I post on the Abit Forums. Abit AV8 here. I'm stumped too.

Check the voltages.

The reason the fans are red is cos the cpu is water cooled and the case fan isn't connected to the mobo.


And i also have the latest bios.

Haha, yea, that'll do it. Just turn off the alarm in the BIOS.

Re: Help - PC overheating?

I just finished my new PC and booted it up.

After a few seconds it beeps incessantly and i assume it is Overheating, so i switched it off.

I can also only seem to hear one fan, wtf?

I have 2 fans on the case, one ice cool fan on the gfx, and the other on the chip.

I have no idea what the problem is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What sequence are the beeps?

Google is your friend:

If you can't fathom the above out, common causes of beeps and failure to boot are incorrectly seated ram, ram in the wrong slots, video (or other pci ) card incorrectly seated, not enough power to the video card, or a general power deficiency.

Well i've got 500w PSU.
I know the Video Card works.
My ram is in correctly.

I am led to believe that it is either one of these possibilities:
a) My AMD is f*cked. Return it and get a new one.
b) My ABit is f*cked. Return it and get a new one.
b) My Abit doesn't like the new AMDs, which a friend told me. If so, i'll just return it and get a KN8.

Any ideas? If i could have more info on this problem about AX8s and their incompatibility with latest AMDs, i'd be grateful. Out of those three i'm more inclined to say its the AMD thats at fault.

EDIT: I did try Hoppums solution, but I believe its just silencing the "neenaw" as nothing happens still.

Re: Help - PC overheating?

beeps are bad its cpu for (im ill fix me )
some boards come with there jumpers set at a deafult look in the manual and check(reseting bios with jumpers)these are fiddly things so be carfull and make sure the power is not pluged in.
if u take youre gfx and memory out the fan on youre heatsink will spin but the speaker will beep.
it could be a compatablity issue but it could also be somthing more serious.
is youre card agp(if so they can be fidly make sure it in correcly by looking at it from the side and make sure the agp (white/or/orange clicky things is in place.
somthing is not fitted properly/correctly in my opinion read you motherboard manual thourly tripple check everything.
if youre new to making custom pc look up some advice on google.as some mistakes are iraversable.
as for the prosser chip itself... if you were to turn on youre pc with no heatsink youre cpu would expload in about 2-5 seconds.
so make sure its on and has thermal paste on it.<--- if ur unsure what that is google it.
dont mean to sound noobish but you have to be carfull when doing things like this.

Re: Help - PC overheating?

I've ascertained that it isn't overheating - I posted that when I had no idea what was going on and the only option was that it was overheating.

See my post above, thats what I think is wrong.
