Motherboard Beeping

[Tekram]

When playing World of Tanks I get random beeping from the motherboard buzzer, there is no apparent beeping code (i.e. longs and shorts), it varies between short one beeps to almost continuous for 10 - 30 seconds. This occurs when actually playing the game but not at a specific point or time of play. There is no cpu or gpu overheating and the case fans never start.

This problem does not happen with any other application or games such as Fortnite.

@Tekram , welcome to the Community.

When I see a problem that is not affecting any other apps or games, I suspect a conflict with the game.  I suggest going to the developer's website to see if others are having the same problem.  This is very likely.

Thanks I kind of suspected as much.

I did notice from the MSI Afterburner logs it seems like the game is maxing out the 3070 gpu which seems a bit odd.

You are welcome!  Thank you for the additional information, @Tekram.

Sometimes the free online games are not optimized for every system setup.  This could be the problem.  It is strange that it would max out a 3070 for certain.

Strange indeed as I've been playing the game for several years without any issues on a Dell Precision T3600 with an Intel Xeon E5 1650 CPU and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 GPU.

hi

yes @Tekram 

according to this :I did notice from the MSI Afterburner logs

overclocking utilities

if using this, maybe this is also a cause for concern!
I tested this game with an amd radeon 7950!

[Tekram]

Thank you, all my GPU/CPU settings are stock, no overclocking.

Just thought I'd mention that I did contact World of Tanks support regarding this problem and had no solution but suggested it's a hardware issue.
