n00by · 15th October 2007, 7:31 PM

hey guys ive bene having a coupla issues and was wondering if anyone could shed some light

everye few days my laptop makes a beep noise out of no where but nothing happens

what could be casuing this beep?

also sometimes it randomly decides to use 95% of my 2gb ram

id only have like Word, IE7 and VLC open and its using that much and everything is really slow, a restart helps it for a while and then it happens again...

tried reformatting to no avail

any help appreciated

thanks guys

If you're using Windows Vista then the ram usage should be normal + other Asus bloatware would also contribute, but does it run fine/smooth? As to the beeping, I'm not sure.. maybe temperature warning?

nah it lags like hell when it happens

eventhough its a Core 2 Duo 2ghz with 2gb ram and a 7600go 256mb

i have had issues with the sidebar in vista before, maybe that is causing it?

is there a specific process that is using alot more ram than normal in the task manager? have you checked the event viewer for error logs?

do you have shonky programs running? :P

what ram did you get for the upgrade to 2gb? run a memtest on it?

have you had a look for asus' beep codes?
