    Computer Overheating, or possibly another problem? Help
    « on: November 08, 2009, 01:00:06 PM »
    Hello, and thank you for reading my dilemma..

    Firstly, I'll tell you my problem, then tell you about my computer. I'm on a different computer telling you my problem. It occured last night while I was browsing the web. I got the blue screen, and it said it was checking disk. It restarted, but when it restarted, it never rebooted. I just heard 2 beeps. These 2 beeps would continue every 5 seconds or so. So I'd turn it off, then try again 10 minutes later. This time, I just hear the 2 beeps.

    The beeps is 1 short beep, then 1 long beep. 5 seconds later, same beeps.

    Then, I waited an hour, and it'd start up, but shortly after I arrive at the Windows area, the monitor would either go black, and the computer would start the 2 beeps again. Or (another time I'd start it) the monitor would go black, and I couldn't do anything except unplug it.

    I did some reading on here, and it may be an overheating issue, but also read that it could be a heatsink disconnection, or possibly a virus. So I just need some confirmation.

    Now, here's my computer information...

    I believe this is my motherboard coming from looking up my computer on the HP website

    Motherboard

        *
          Manufacturer: ECS
        *
          Motherboard Name: MCP61PM-HM
        *
          HP/Compaq motherboard name: Nettle2-GL8E

    HP Pavilion Media Center m8100n TV PC
    AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual-Core Processor 5600+
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    3072MB System Memory
    500GB Hard Drive

    All I know is I have an nvidia video card.

    Any recommendations or help will be much appreciated, thank you.

    This is computer:  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01077676&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3440614&lang=en

    See Video Graphics section on link. 
    You have integrated graphics using shared memory.  Problem is either the graphics controller or the shared memory (part of the system memory).

        if it is caused by overheat,it might be hot around the  cooling plate.however, according to your description, it is not. i think it is the connection problem.
