pc makes continues beep
June 14th, 2023
Because my Power Supply broke down from my old pc, I had to buy a new one. (from 250W to 450W)
But after I installed it, I get a continues beep or whistle.
I checked the beep codes and could be something with my videocard of RAM but I replaced them but still there is the continous beep.
Any idea’s what could be the problem and how I could fix it

Are you sure that after your power supply broke down your pc isn’t damaged?
Did you reconnect the power back to you graphics card?
On some OEM PC’s like Gateway HP and Compac they like to use power supplies made just for their PC’s so you cannot go out and buy your own. They would typically use really poor built ones, ones you could buy for $15 online so they would not last but because they were made to be proprietary they only worked on their machines. What that did was force you to buy a new supply from them at an exorbanent price compaired to what you could buy it for. Not all of them still do that because people got wise and smiling off. To tell if this is your problem, compair the 20/24 pin part that plugs to the motherboard and see if the colored wires match exactly with the one you replaced. If not you have a proprietary power supply.
Other than that you should look at the heatsink fan to see if its spinning at a good clip, a non-working fan can cause an emergency beep to keep you from burning out your processor.
I would say some damaged component broke your first power supply google for the post bleep codes for your bios if you know what it is or tell us the make and model of pc and or motherboard
make sure you haven’t forgoten to plug the power connector in your graca. also check your ram.

Whith my previous PSU it wasn’t connected either so…
But I don’t see where I got to connect a power plug :s , I believe, because of it’s passive cooling it doesn’t need one. (details of graca see under.

The fan of my old power supply was already almost broke (and it cause my old PSU to meld a bit )
This is the pc : http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/?m=home&sn=5563987018
but it has 1 GB RAM and a new graphic card of 265mb (geforce 6200)
Changed graca and ram with other pc and still the same –> something wrong with power on motherboard ?
You may laugh with this pc, but it’s just a home desktop and doens’t need too much, . I already thank you for your help
seeing as it’s a packardbell I suggest you check what said.

Colours match and the van is spinning at good speed :s
if its pu was only 250 w its vidio if original is not going to need any power other than its slot provides its agp most of which (not all ) dont need extra power

ok but what could then cause the high continuous beep/whistle ?
Often when a power supply fails it can take the motherboard or processor with it. If it happens to create a voltage spike when it blows the resulting overvoltage can destroy the chipset on the board or even the processor itself. At this point if I were you I would try to reset the cmos to see if you can get back some functions. Uplug the pc from the wall and remove the motherboard battery, if you can find it, also move the cmos reset jumper from pins 1&2 to 2&3 and leave it like that for an hour. After the hour is up, put the jumper back to 1&2 (default or where it was) put the battery back the same way it was (usually positive outward) and plug the sucker back into the wall and cross your fingers!
easiest thing to do is to disconnect your pc speaker from your motherboard… that’s if you want to ignore the problem rather than find out what it is and fix it… it could be something stupid like a chassis intrusion detection thing…

I am not going to ruin pc speaker so I lose my sound but
-and I tryed to disable the beep sound in device manager
-chassis intrusion alarm is disabled in bios Often when a power supply fails it can take the motherboard or processor with it.

I already did that (an half hour is enough btw for the battery ) but no succes.
I also “updated” the bios version the the newest I colud find for the board.
I can work on the pc though,the sound is just really annoying
