Strange happening....

Post by Spinning Hat »

Ok.. so there I was, doing homework, and I turn away from my PC for a second, and all of a sudden, my PC Speaker is beeping at me like it was dying!.. I'm like, WTF?!?! and the BIOS is telling me that the CPU Fan has stopped and asks me if I want to shut down, and I'm like, WTF?!?!?! So I enter the BIOS, and look at the stats there, and sure enough, it's stopped... But I crack open the case, and I put power to it, and it was working just fine.. I am on my PC right now, and I haven't had any probs... but I'm still like, WTF?!?!? Ya know? Any idea what may have caused this? <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:arial;font-size:xx-large;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I HATE EZBOARD!!!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

Your O2 sensor is bad. You'll have to get behind the manifold with a long socket, and....<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Dunno. But it COULD be a bad sensor on the motherboard. Or if your CPU fan is one of those that takes power from the PSU but has a wire running to the MB for the sensor, that second wire could be loose. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

It did it two more times to me today.... The Fan is only turning at 1500RPM... I don't know if it's the mobo or fan, but it's not a very good situation... <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:arial;font-size:xx-large;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I HATE EZBOARD!!!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>
