Zeealex Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) it's the first time i have come across this on mum's Test PC using an MA770-UD3 she uses to test DDR2 RAM modules and see if AM3 CPUs are defective after failed unlocks. this time i decided an 8400GS card needed testing when it started acting funny on a friend's PC. anyway, it made this really loud squeal when i pushed the power button and then posted with 1 long 2 short beeps which is graphic card error, which shows promising signs that the motherboard isn't bust (yet). when i opened up the PC to verify where the sound was coming from, and it is coming from the front bottom corner of the motherboard (not the hard drive) i tried it again with a working HD4550 card i used to hve in multimedia PCs a while back and it didnt squeal or post with an error, it just loaded and booted up ubuntu. i tried again with the RAM out and that squeal and a RAM error POST occurred. why is it squealing at me? is it to tell me it is almost bust? or is it normal. i wouldn't call it a problem as such, more a concern. i haven't told mum about it yet, she's asleep and she gets real cranky if woken up but she would know if it was normal or not. but anyway, anyone care to enlighten me on the subject? i'm only using hers because my test PC is currently having it's motherboard replaced to fit DDR3 modules.

WytchDokta Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 With reference to the squealing, it would seem the PC has been subjected to The Deliverance at some point. Let's see who gets the joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeealice Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) B to the R to the INK. 13/05/11. Who needs BF3 anyway? yup looking forward to it myself Edited April 30, 2011 by zeealice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WytchDokta Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I said give me character customisation options, and Splash Damage will be giving me unlimited choice. I like it. I don't see Dice doing the same in BF3, so it's clear what the natural choice is for me. The question is, whether or not Brink can peel me away from the awesome experience that is DS2 for extended periods of time. Two weeks!

zeealice Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 ooh, that will be good to test the 6990 on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WytchDokta Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 It would probably make the 6990 squeal like a piggy. The real test would be to see if relevant teminology is used in Brink, whether it's 'clips' (Need clips!) or 'mags' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeealice Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 hopefully mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that Ned Beatty that was told to squeal like a piggy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
