CPU AUDIO
At some stage on my travels through my computer I have ticked a box that
enables audio from the CPU; I now get a clicking noise that tells me the processor is active, it is extremely annoying and I would like to make it silent again can anybody help? |

It is undoubtedly a setting in your BIOS setup. Ususally you would get some
text message on the screen during a cold start, like 'press del key to enter setup' -- Was this post helpful to you? Then click the "Yes" button, below. Voting helps others who use the web interface.

Thanks for the suggestion I had a look at the BIOS setup but it's a page I've
never seen before; I highlighted f5 (default settings) in the hope that would solve the problem, unfortunately I'm still 'clicking'. I was unwilling to go elsewhere as I would be wondering blind and might do damage. "Mark L. Ferguson" wrote: It is undoubtedly a setting in your BIOS setup.

How did you know the sound is an indication that the CPU is active?

Underneath the start button on the front of my computer are two lights, a
blue one which glows continuously and an amber light which flashes; the clicking noise coincides with the amber light, the more prominant and more stable this light the greater the noise, for that reason I assumed it was the CPU.

I would think that one light was the 'on' light, and the blinking one was the
hard drive. If so, I would make a quick attempt to save as much critical data as possible to some permanent media. (burn a cd, find a network storage location, or whatever) The clicking could well mean you have a failing hard drive. Save settings and data with the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard (FAST wizard): Go To: http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/fast.htm On a lighter note, there is acutally a 'click' sound in the the sounds app of control panel, (called 'start.wav') It could be tied to the "Navigation" event. -- Was this post helpful to you?
