Apologies that I have no experience, well, beyond the little "Elf
sneezes" my ASUS exhibits, but it occurred to me to ask if you have a
way to post a sample sound byte that might help someone identify
what's going on...
Just thinking out loud.. :)
PS The "Elf sneezes" turned out to be a last minute warning that the
ASUS was overheating and was about to shut down posthaste, immediately
thereafter, even. :)
