Laptop beeping

i read on another forum where people thought it was a power supply prob



im trying everythin tbh!



how do identify the mother board?



im looking in system

check the manufactors webpage with the model number… u might not have a mobo manual cause its a laptop but the laptop manual maybe. check the fourms on the manufactors page too. remember it would be windows or ableton so you’ll check them too. process of elimination my friend.

nah the manual is tellin me nothing about the mother board



dont suppose windows updates wd help?

This seems really odd. Bios error beeps happen at startup, not when Windows is up and running. If it only happens when you are using Ableton it seems likely that it is something to do with Ableton.

Does it happen with no programs running? Does it happen with other programs?

no mate only when ablton is actually playing sound



when i stop playback it doesnt beep even with the project sitting open


my pc spec is

pentium dual core cpu E3600 @2.8ghz



3.49 gb of ram



laptop is



intel core 2 Duo 2.0 ghz



4 gb of ram 32 bit operating system



so it looks like the pc will have a faster processor but slightly less ram



could it just be the processor trying to do too much???



i hought that would just make it run slow rather than beeping?







tried running the same project on the pc and its flying thru it no beeping



i even added massive ans trillian to really push it and it still ran fine

ill try a disk cleanup as well and see if it helps





AAAAAAHHHH have a gig in 2 weeks and im trying to get live set together and now this



:crazy:

did all that and then opened up live again



changed the soundcard setting back to the bcd and hit paly and it crashed and the laptop switched off and restarted itself

ok so now it seems to be 2 short beeps which after googling says its a system board error



whats that the mother board?

after much elimination - i think i got it narrowed down to voxengo gliis eq and elephant.



weird!



all the googling was suggesting my mother board was f***ed.



i took those plugs off and then the beeping stopped for ages. i put them back on again and it started again. ill try it again later to make sure
