No Idea why but my tower is beeping .

[Cmiller]

ok, So my machine is Randomly emitting beeps in a series of 2 beeps about a half second apart . The sound is coming from my tower but I absolutely cannot figure out WHY... It can take anywhere from 2 minutes to an hour for it to repeat.. without rhyme nor reason... ... My case is VERY well ventilated Big ole NZXT Phantom Case. Any Ideas Where to look?

Something like - http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm ?

Something's wrong.

I do believe something being wrong is the issue 😛 It's two short beeps.... AMI bios Mem test tells me my memory is fine so im really confused.

I'd check your 12V reading in bios. HWMonitor shows it at 0.3 to 0.6V - way too low. Anything under 11.8V is not good.

The software must be flawed if my 12 volt rail was that low my machine wouldnt run

Check it in bios. It might just show that HWMonitor is crappy software.

11.88

That's OK - not brilliant, but OK.

Try HWInfo - Sensors - instead.

Is your CPU fan really running at 100%? It must be noisy. Is your CPU getting hot? (Now I don't trust your HWMonitor readings)

Do you have utility software that came on a disk with your mobo that you can use?

Yes my cpu fan was pegged out somehow in my settings the fan was set to 100% instead of automatic >.<
