GunnerKes Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Basically I bought this laptop about a year and a half ago and it was already running prema mod bios. Im currently on windows 10... Everything was fine and the laptop has never had any dramas until now.So, a few days ago I was playing Rocket League on the laptop and all of a sudden my laptop started beeping for about 2 seconds beep, 1 second off and repeated. At the same time, all the 3 lock LEDS flash in time with the beep...This also coincides with the max fans kicking in - it is pretty loud obviously. I initially thought it was a overheating problem with the GPU or CPU and seeing as I never applied thermal paste, I did so... My max temps after giving the laptop a good clean and reapplying thermal paste are : GPU - 77 degrees and CPUs - 72 - IN GAME before the loudest fans kick in. To test, I boot into CS GO and start playing, all my temps are fine but then as soon as the max fans kick in, the beeps start, with the leds and if I carry on as normal, the laptop will restart automatically. Anyone have any ideas as what to try next? I've updated drivers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerKes Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 - Check the FAN connections- Reflash BIOS & EC Thanks for the quick reply... I am generally a noob when it comes to flashing the BIOS. All the fan connections are good though. Where would be the best place to start with tutorials? I need to read up in depth... Is this a good place to start? - http://forum.techinferno.com/clevo/3119-%5Bbios-vbios-mods%5D-prema-mod-stock.html Ill watch the vids etc and thanks for all your hard work!

If UEFI is off you can boot from USB by pressing F7 and select the drive you created with Rufus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerKes Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 UPDATE - Now works fine! Somehow my previous BIOS got corrupted or something and the GPU temp wasn't getting communicated correctly which resulted in the beeps and shutdown. Updated to latest BIOS and all seems good now Thanks Prema, awesome work and cheers for helping me out. Donation inbound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerKes Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 I spoke to soon. Seems when the max amount of fans kick in, the same beeps etc kick in... Stumped now, that's the bios updated and all connections sound. Think it's the mobo or gpu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H658tu Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Swap the gpu and cpu fan. Won't fit, but all you want is to swap their connectors. Sounds like the gpu fan can't deliver the necessary rpms requested by the EC. Mmh ... you could also aim a hair-dryer at the gpu fan to boost it a bit, see if that clears the problem. Or better; a vacuum cleaner, except at a different angle, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRAlien Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hello, I have the same problem with my P170em, beeping and blinking LEDs, because of high GPU temperature (~80°C).But in my case the GPU fan is very often directly not starting (checked it with HWInfo).My system is still running with the Stock Bios17 and EC12.I’m not sure if the Prema Mod could solve my problem, maybe if i force the fans to run with FN+1.Can you check your rpms if you get this emergency alarm.- MRAlien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michalsk11 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hello I have the same problem Prema I flashed your bios for p157sm and laptop keep restarting on boot and now I have another problem with beeps when dgpu is running games on this video I pushed fn+1 but without it the fans doing the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRAlien Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 @michalsk11: Thanks for your video, it's says to me that a forced start of the fans could not solve my problem.From my point of view your temperatures ~64°C are ok, with and without the forced fans.It's could be that you see the cpu and not the gpu temperature, but i don't know your benchmark.In compare to my problem, i get this sounds if my gpu fan is off, but your fans are running and you get this sounds.I come closer to the assumption that the emergency system checks high gpu temperatures and gpu fan speed.Can you log your fan speed if you force the fans, maybe the system don't get the rpm feedback if you force it.- MRAlien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michalsk11 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Thanks for your post ! Yes my gpu and CPU fans works well but I thing my problem starts after I remove power cable from laptop without battery. How can I log fan speed ? I force it on video but if I don't after more time laptop force full fan speed without press any button and start beeps. If you notice on my video after flashing prema bios on boot i have 3 or 6 bootloops. I don't now what is going on ....PS sorry for my English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRAlien Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 On my P170EM i can log it with the tool HWInfo (HWiNFO, HWiNFO32 & HWiNFO64 - Hardware Information, Analysis and Monitoring Tools).If you start the sensors and enable all "show" check boxes in the sensor settings, then it's could be you can't see your GPU Informations.The reason is, you can only see the nvidia GPU information like temperature or fan rpm if the nvidia GPU is in use.I have seen in your video you have installed geforce experience, open it and the nvidia gpu is in use. Now you should be able to see the GPU inforamtions in the HWInfo sensors.- MRAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerKes Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Prema, any thoughts on the above. The vid, is pretty much the same as my problem. Main fans kick in and the beeping starts... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Its the EC controller temp alarm:- GPU/CPU too hot- CPU/GPU temp signal lost- FAN rpm too low- FAN rpm signal lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michalsk11 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 So if gpu temp signal lost it is a hardware problem? How can I fix this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
