 Machine Keeps Beeping
I have a machine here that keeps beeping out of the PC Speaker. All hardware is ok and machine isn't crashing. Its running perfect. Is there any virus that could possibly do this annoying thing???????

Could be a heat alarm!!! Shut the computer down _NOW_ and check out your fan. After it has cooled off, reboot and see if it is spinning properly. If so, then look in Hardware Monitor if your system has it.
Flash! Don't heckle the supervillain!

I check all of that in the Hardware monitor and I also physical check it there is no over-heating.

could be a virus... it would be very easy to create one in almost any language... but i've never actually seen one. I can make you one if you like. *LOL*

what type of machine? saw a server (ibm) the other day that had an case intrusion alarm and some other stuph. same thing. check out all specifications, and make a determination about what could feesibly make the alarm continuously sound. 
"What does it all mean, Dr. Holmes?"
"Ahh, I can not tell. I have no data."
"Psssst...hey you...don't tell anyone i told you, but
-l ds:0100 2 1 12 gets you FAT."

That happened to me and it turned out that it was an alarm sounding because the cpu fan went bad.
 To each his/her own.

Last time I saw that it was a program my roommate wrote in basic, he put it on his teachers machine and the teacher was convinced there was a virus on the network and formatted all the machines, oops.

I would asume by "machine is running perfectly" that it is booting up.

Sure it is coming from the box? Is it possible you have a UPS on the puter and it is low on juice?

I know many machines have built in "Health monitors" tha Beep if something is not right (voltage, heat etc..)
I did ewncountered a few that Beeped even when everything was right..

good choice! I'm plumping for keyboard problem, especially if the pc boots and gives no post error.
