crashing e-machine
 |
I have a T3042 e-machine, my computer will suddenly crash and go blank and make this alarm noise that sounds like an english patty-wagon and shutting it off doesn't stop it I have to unplug it and wait until it finally subsides. I thought it was because my old hard drive was full so I installed a 650 mg harddrive and it still will crash on occasion. I then got a small fan and installed it in the computer compartment-thinking it was over heating-It still crashes on occasion, usually when I have been on it for sometime and/or have numerous programs running. What does that alarm signify and is there a fix to my problem?

you are running too many programs at the same time. Also, you might be playing PC games for extended periods without saving often. Also, your graphics ram may not be able to handle excessive video use like games, video etc.
What video ram, Ram, PSU wattage do you use?
Can you specify what programs you have running at the same time?

If ALL my answers are wrong, only then will I read the question

Hi,
Can you describe the noise a little better, is it beeps? If so how many (three short one long etc)?
What is the sound if it is not beeps?
Can you determine where it is coming from, your speakers or a part in your PC?
Your wattage is written on a plate on the power supply where you plug your mains power into the PC, it will be 250W 300W....
Do you know how much RAM you have in your PC? If you do not know what RAM is, go here:-

Do you have a video card?
If so what is it?
Are all your fans working, power supply, CPU, case, video card?
Is the inside of your PC full of dust? If so, use compressed air if you can and a new paint brush and give it all a good clean.
If you do not know about something I have asked, just go to google and search for information about it on the net.

It is unusual for the machine to crash then start beeping. If there was a problem the beeping would start at boot up and wouldn't let you boot up at all.
I think one of your modules (chips) on your ram has shorted. When the upper limit of the ram is reached, or required for use, the memory is corrupted and it is deemed as a fault. It is possible that both of your Ram is faulty. Usually you should get a blue screen that says
x000x0066 (whatever number) can not be read.

no blue screen with numbers, but it does seem to come after a lot of use time
