Hi,
I turned off my computer when a temperature alarm started and let it cool over night and thought it would reset by itself. When I tried to restart the computer the alarm sounded again with no way to stop or reset it.
I recently changed the CPU from 2.4GHz to 3.2GHz to improve frame rates for Flight Simulator 2004 and assumed the alarm was due to over temperature due to the higher power consumed by the 3.2GHz CPU; however I can't find a a list of alarm sounds and their associated functions - so I can't be sure temperature is the cause of the alarm.
I was not surprised when a overtemp alarm went off about an hour or so after the first start up with the new CPU. I shut down the computer and after not too long a time restarted it (the alarm having reset somehow?) without the cover assuming that would provide sufficient cooling. That worked for 6 to 8 hours. With that amount of time having passed I assumed having the cover off solved the problem. The new alarm surprised me and seems to be different.
I did a search but probably because I found nothing I did not describe my problem properly.
Thanks,
Russ
