    Post 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.

    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*

    That happened to me and it turned out that it was an alarm sounding because the cpu fan went bad.

    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.
