Siren Noise

[Trippy2010]

hey 4give me for being a complete lamer but ii had the same problem with regards to the siren noise and pc shutting down however i have noticed that this only happens whilst playing games, but i do use a power surge and my pc has never had problems before with this but then i have only recently started using a surge protector. Could the Surg protector have anything to do with this ?
thanks

Hello welcome tohttp://www.pcguide.com/ubb/pcgubb.gif Forums!

It is proper forum protocol to begin a new thread if asking for help for oneself. If there is a thread that one believes is applicable, rather than piggybacking on to someone else's problem, provide a link to the thread...

I have broken your post off and begun a thread to address your specific problem.

Sirens are usually a warning that temperatures are getting critically high and your PC is about to shut down to save impending disaster. Usually you can save a document or whatever page you are on but I just shut down and clean out my cooling system ie, fans and vents, then see if there is anything else amiss such as dried up heatsink compound etc...

On some of the mobos i have worked with it ment faulty/unseated ram.
