I'll go ahead and get the basics out of the way:
- I've run Memtest86+, the RAM is fine
- I've tried both with and without external cache, no difference
- I've even tried different graphics cards and even different CPUs, no difference
I have a C&T Peak DM 386DX I am trying to tame. In DOS while typing, including at the prompt, the PC will occasionally beep and miss my keystroke. It seems to be totally random with no obvious pattern. There is no key, for example, where it happens most often. The keyboard is NOS and does not have this behavior on any other PC. I installed Windows 3.0 and in 386 Enhanced Mode it beeps once per second while running. It beeps constantly while not interacting with it. The beeps coincide with a clear stutter in responsiveness so it's not like I could just unplug the speaker and ignore the problem. There is something clearly wrong. Running Windows in real mode does not cause this beeping.
Does anyone have an idea what might be happening? Anyone else had this happen? Thanks!
