The heat is on
Posted on August 23, 2003
My PC has been acting strange over the past month or two. Generally, when I come home from work, I turn on the AC and the PC. However, the PC seems to be having a problem with the heat. I turn it on and it lets out one long beep. I browsed the Internet, and that’s my motherboard’s reaction to a memory problem. I have plenty of memory, but it is possible that one of the DDR sticks is slightly faulty. After 20 minutes of running the AC, I can turn on the PC and have no problem. However, over the past few weeks, if I have the PC running for a few hours, the system gets hot and then starts to hang/stall. The solution to that is to turn off the PC for a while. No biggie, but annoying nonetheless. Before too long, I’ll have to look at getting more memory, or more likely, some memory heatsinks with a fan (cheaper than new memory). At any rate, I’m getting some more reading done.
