Yes the system is getting very hot, i've run the system uncapped with the chassi in two pieces. Yesterday i put the chassi on like it's supposed to be but still the system looks up :(
The mobo manual is not availible :( i'll have to dig into the comp and figure out the model for the motherboard and do some googling. I will go and buy a new fan to the cpu today and see if it can be that the 3 year old fan is not generating enough cold to the cpu.

For about 4 months i had problem with the system beeping (the system speeker) for about 3 times each 2 seconds.

I have been running this computer for 24/7 in 3 years time. If i turn off the computer for like 5 hours and turn it on, after 1 hour i will get the same beeping. The power supply fan is working, and so is the cpu fan. > >I have a geoforce 256 card and i've exchanged it already once, can i be the graphic card which is broken.
