Deskpro 4000s keyboard beeping strangeness
Hi There,
I wonder if anyone can help me... I've got an old Deskpro and sometimes when I'm using it, the keyboard (and sometimes the mouse) freezes, the num-lock/caps-lock go out and there a loud, repetitive beeping from somewhere inside the machine. Usually, after a minute of so the beeping stops and everything starts working again! Anyone got any ideas? I don't think the keyboard's at fault as I use it regularly on another machine. (Yes, which means I unplug and plug it in a lot :-( Oh, while I'm here... Also, sometimes when I turn the machine on, I get a (BIOS) message saying that two disks (each less than a couple of MB) have been detected and my configuration updated. What's that all about? My clock did loose the time once recently - could this be a CMOS battery problem? Thanks a lot, Adam -- Adam Richardson Email me at: stonemonkey at ntlworld dot com Carpe Diem |
