I've got an alert beep that doesn't come from my speakers, it's an alert that comes at the strangest times; when I close a document without saving, when I'm about to save tracks to my media player, etc. The sound seems to be coming form inside the computer, and I have no idea how to turn it off. Any help would be much appreciated! |

Alerts coming as beeping/buzzing from the case or tower most often relate to conditions of Hardware.
Each brand-name of machines and various BIOS/CMOS setups use differing "beep codes" to communicate status/problem with the internal functioning of the machine. Could be indication of low memory, PCI Card conflict/fault, over-heating, wrong video resolution for type of Monitor/Screen, etc. Tell us a little more about your machine and about the sounds. About the Machine: Brand Name and Model Number Operating System (Win98, Win2000, WinXP, Vista, Linux, etc.) BIOS/CMOS (American MegaTrends, PheonixBIOS, etc) Amount of Physically installed RAM Amount of (free space) remaining on your Hard Drive(s) Video Card (brand/model) About the "beeps": Long continuous? Short? Short-Long? Only one beep? Multiple beeps? Pattern of beeping? With a little more information, we may be able to assist. Best Regards |
