    Annoying Beep in machine every few seconds
    « on: January 02, 2011, 07:53:32 AM »
    I have WindowsXP SP3, Dell Dimension 4700. For the past few days there has been this beep that is fairly loud and very annoying. I have searched this forum and did not find an answer that is like my problem. I have no idea what is causing it. It is there no matter what I am doing, browsing or playing games, etc. Just always there. Please help. I have no virus. Secunia says that my machine is 3% higher score than the  average in Tex.

      I solved it myself. I don't know what caused the beep but following a  video driver update it stopped.

        Thanks Doc_Vibe. Do appreciate this. I do have the manual. It came with my machine. Although I did look online when installing additional memory cards. It was quicker. lol
