| Help!!! Computer's possesed!!!
LOL
XP Pro Service Pack2
AMD Athlon xp2000
166GHz, 512MB RAM (pc2700)
I know it's an old setup but this computer is only used to surf the net.
Whenever I turn my sound on, I get an audio message constantly repeating itself. Everything else in the system has been working fine so I just keep my speakers off. It's been like this for a few months now but WTF is causing it?
Apparently, some guy on youtube has the same problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3HpxX1tmxo
Any ideas?

That's saved for goading a call when playing poker

Do you have a sound card or are using the onboard sound? You might want to go into device manager and see if you can repair it there. Maybe drivers or maybe it's just finished and a cheap sound card might be your answer.

Have you changed any hardware (namely CPU) before this started happening? Maybe you upgraded the CPU and the board didn't support it fully? Maybe the 4 pin P4 power connector isn't connected?
If everything checks out, see if there is any way to disable any CPU checks in the BIOS. Also, make sure you're on the latest BIOS for your board. I highly doubt it's the sound driver, as the system hasn't loaded any drivers at that point for Windows. It's a built in feature of the BIOS that is causing that announcement. (I'm guessing it's an Asus board?) What model is your board?

Thanks for the advice guys.
I'm not at the computer right now but I do know it's an Asus A7N8X, using the built in sound, and no hardware was added prior to the problem.
I'll see about disabling CPU checks and updates in the BIOS when I get to the unit.
Cheers

Thats your bios doing that. Your motherboard prolly has a sensor to trigger this when your cpu is over heating. Try cleaning out your heat sink

Just go into the BIOS and turn off Asus Post reporter.
