Warning Sounds....What can it mean?

It could be a warning sound that you are overheating or something is loose inside your case.

Open the case, reseat everything, check the connections and above all clean the fans and be sure they are running.
Check the heatsink fan for caked-in dust.

Let us know how you are doing.

Thanks Radarman,

first thing in the morning the box is going on the table for a spring clean.I'll let you know how I get on.

i used to get a similar sound when my CPU overheated

check your heat sink... mine looked like :

Ass an addition to the former right suggestions, i would suggest too, to try restoring your system(of course have in your mind all the consequences about loosing everythink you have installed the day after restore point😉 )

Well I opened the case and found dust everywhere.The onboard fans of the CPU and Card were choked.My heatsink made Insight's look clean and the vents on the side of the case were also blocked up.

If my case was a Ford Transit it would have had "Clean Me" written on the back of it. 😂

Being mindful of the risk of static electricity I put on my "marigolds",got out my Q-Tip buds and went to work.20 minutes later....good as new.

Flew a 40 min flight and would you believe it.......no probs!

We all learn something new everyday...and I certainly learned something today.Right on the money as usual Radarman.Thankyou!

Thanks too for Insight and Greekman.

warmest regards to all forum members.....

glad to be of assistance

my pic is of course after I have removed all that crap from the sink itself.. you couldn't even see the separate blades when I started lol

🙂

👍 Fantastic, I'm glad to hear that just dust was the problem. It happens more often than not.
Enjoy!

Thats great news my friend.Enjoy your flights now... 👍

I'm happy it worked for you - Just as a side note, how many times is one supposed to clean out his cpu, and what benefits can I reap if I have less dust accumulated in there? Thanks

It depends where you keep it. If it's on the floor it'll gather more dust than It would if it were on the desk.
I'd say you'd be safe doing it at least every 3 months, more if you see it's heavy with dust.
I clean my keyboard every week with some compressed air and don't forget to do your printer when you do the computer.
Mice, once a week if it's a ball type, I clean the outside and lens (and monitor screen) once a week also.

So your saying if I did that, I'll get a better perfromance out of FS?

If dust and heat is your problem yes. You'll get better performance out of your computer also.
