SOYO KT600 Dragon Plus "Screamer problem"

External Since: Aug 26, 2004 Posts: 10

I'm running a SOYO KT600 Dragon Plus with Windows XP Pro and Windows 2000
multiboot on separate physical drives. The system has been working very well
until recently, when I went to do a repair to a messed up Windows XP.
Following instructions I simply wanted to do the repair installation, not
using the repair console, but just going to F8 and then pressing the "R"
key. Well, the computer shut down and a loud steady high pitched scream came
from the computer. I could not figure out what part of the computer was
doing this. I shut the machine down and had to physically unplug the
computer to get it to boot up again. The next day I was able to do a repair
no problem then went to check in my Administrator Tools, Event Viewer, I
found this: An error was detected on device \Device\CdRom0 during a paging
operation. Above that was Cdrom - The device, \Device\CdRom, has a bad
block. Does anyone have an idea why this happened? When this happened I
could not access Win 2000 or Win XP either. The machine would immediatly
shut down and the scream would start.

sounds like two totally unrelated events, the noise was the
motherboard shutting down and alerting you, either because of overheated
cpu or the fan stopped and or sensor could not see fan spinning
.. What happened in Windows is another event, and no matter how bad
software acts up, it cant set off the motherboard alarm. Now you have to
figure out what made the motherboard alarm sound ~
