This is usually a cpu fan warning indicating that something is askew with the cpu fan. The cpu fan must have rpm monitor AND the speed of the fan must fall within the threshold limits set in the system BIOS. If it does not fall within the range provided in the system BIOS, ASUS suggests that the cpu HSF be replaced by one that falls within their specs. <br />

Agree, this sounds like a fan/heat warning to me. Also make sure the cou-fan is connected to the cpu-fan header on the mobo and not the case-fan header, they're usually right next to eachother. <br />

My friend's PC is a 1.6ghz Intel Pentium 4. Recently he has problems powering it on. We changed the motherboard to a new Asus P4PE-X/TE with 256mb of DDRam(his old motherboard has SDRAM). However, when we switch on the PC, it starts to have a quick beep which sounds more like an ambulance siren. I took out all the cards and cables and it still has that ambulance beep. My question, is there different variants of Pentium 4 1.6ghz? Is the new motherboard compatible? If so, what is causing the siren? Could the beep mean something is wrong with the 1.6ghz CPU?
