Hi, my computer is making an extremely loud series of short beeps at random intervals and for a random period of time...I don't think it's the computer overheating though, because it will sit here and beep and then quit beeping all of a sudden. It can also occur sporadically and randomly, whether I'm at the Windows startup screen or while playing a game or browsing the internet. Does anyone know the cause or fix for this?

Well, next time you hear it remember the amount of beeps there were and if they were long or short. The beeps are actually a code which can be used to show where the problem is. Once you get the ammount of beeps, go to a tech support forums (Or even on this thread) and post the amount of beeps and their length.

If its more than.. I would say 10 beeps, then it's not the code and it's a different issue.

Actually, the problem is fixed by disconnecting the cords that run top the front panel displays on my case (Temp, HDD, Fan). So it was more than likely a warning or exception raised that caused a beep.

well some cases have their speaker unit on the front panel, and by disconecting it, its probably still tryna warn you about something but the speaker isnt working lol =]

The best work never was and never will be done for money.

Everyone who has a computer fancies himself a game designer, just as everyone with a guitar wants to be a rock star. There is nothing wrong with that if you remember that success is a long, hard road.

it doesn't have a speaker unit, there are three indicators on the front that display HDD, Temp, and fan speed. I have speakers hooked up but they are hooked to the sound card.

Make sure that all your hardware is securely connected to your motherboard.

I had problems way back when i was a computer newbie lol and found out one of the RAM clips weren't closed making the computer think it was in-use and couldn't read the RAM(the computer checks all ports to make sure if anything is there.)

thats the only one i know of lol.
