Laptop Making Beeping Noises - Windows 7 Not Responding
May 31, 2012
So today my laptop started to freeze ALOT and a error message saying windows is not reaping keeps coming. So I restart my laptop and then it does same thing again I press Ctrl alt del and then three Louis beeping noises come all the same length like beep beep beep?
I just rebooted and when it was on my desktop it froze and a windows error message came up saying windows is not responding and it Ives me two options 1.end windows or 2. Wait for it to respond I clicked 2 and it turned to a grey screen and after 15 mins it came back to life.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 14 laptop. A few days ago, I noticed that my laptop has become incredibly slow (the system will hang sometimes, and continue as per normal after a while), and this coincided with my laptop beginning to make this weird, sharp beeping sound. At first I did not pay much attention to it, but later this was joined by several BSODs, and my laptop became even slower (games that usually did not lag was now hanging halfway through, and continuing as per normal after a lengthy period of 1 minute or so). I tried to find the origin of the noise, and I think it came from my Internal hard drive sector, and thus decided to open the sector up (in hindsight I probably should not have). After I replaced it, without doing much (just doing the usual IT-amateur stuff, wiping it and blowing it a few times), my situation has now worsened to the point that startup takes a much longer time, and finally now it hangs at the "Starting Windows" screen, but without the Windows 7 logo showing, and my screen later turns black.
My laptop [Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905 (got it in 2007)] has been just recently, as in about a week ago, been constantly booting to the Boot Manager upon startup (actually, it literally started happening after I (thought) I removed a virus/trojan/malware from that cursed Farmville on FB spam). It's never done this before. I now have to select "Windows 7 Professional (Recovered)" even though it's the only option there. This laptop was upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 about 1.5 years ago. I understand from some other posts I've read that the Boot Manager popping up is supposedly a "good thing",. A lso about a week ago, I've noticed continuous beeping noises after I select the OS from the Boot Manager and am taken to the "Starting Windows" screen. There are no pauses, there are no short/long beep combos..it's simply continuous beep, beep, beeps and they're never ending until I power off the laptop. Again, none of this started happening until a week ago, and up until then, everything was fine.I've cleaned out the fan units with compressed air, and any dirt/dust. I've been told to try to use an Ultimate Boot CD, but for some reason, my laptop won't boot from a CD (again, something I've never had an issue with before this).I've tried to run the Windows Memory Diagnostic and upon the automatic restarting,I get a black screen and the same loud beeping--no boot manager, no "Starting Windows"..just black screen and beeping.
My printer is a HP Deskjet F4400 series, bought it March of 2010, and lately it has been making noises. It only happens when I turn it on or when I start printing. The best way to describe it is it is like a loud rattling sound. It lasts only 2-3 seconds, and it's not heard of again until I do another printing, or if I turn it off and then it it on again.It doesn't affect the prints I make, and I checked inside I don't know if anything is wrong inside (I wouldn't know anyways given my lack of knowledge), it's just this loud sound that lasts a couple of seconds. Is there a way to check it on my control panel or something?
Ive been with this problem for a while, my computer freeze and the speakers start making weird noises. I have a log of the error but I dont know how log things work, this one is from the security tab
I'm having a really bothersome problem here, my computer is shutting down sometimes or either freezing and making weirds noises where i can't move even the mouse and i need to hard boot.
This freezes only happens when i turn on the computer for the firsts time of the day, it happens like 5-10 times and then he starts working correctly for the rest of the day, i don't have a clue what is happening, do i need to format my computer?
I just got a new laptop DELL INSPIRON 15R N5110 (i3 processor, 3GB ram, 500 GB hard disk) 2 days back... Suddenly the system started lagging and it hanged last day... When i tried 2 restart, it said there is an error in loading d hard disk... It asked me 2 boot several times... The laptop now have started making clicking noises. Its now even getting heated up also... I aint able to restart it now. I ve my documents saved on d laptop in a separate drive... (I had partioned d drive as C and D where D is for my peronal data)
i have an acer aspire 5738z and i am using windows 7 ultimate. every time i boot it up it works fine until i start getting onto internet. when i am using internet say, streaming videos on Internet or playing an online game or watching a movie online, the laptop just freezes. sometimes it freezes for like 2 secs but sometimes over 10 minutes. and then sometimes it comes back on again as normal or i will have to manually restart it from my end. i also tried to find any faults using a registry checker and couldnt find any although i am not pretty sure which is the best registry cleaner to be used. i also find that sometimes the laptop beeps just once before it unfreezes.
The problem is my laptop/notebook always making the "click" sound (the sound that like you open a folder in windows) although I am not doing anything. When I turn off my laptop today, then I opened my laptop for the next day it making the same problem. I don't know how it's happened. I am using windows 7.
I recently purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520 Laptop with 8GB RAM & Windows 7 Home Premium on 20th August 2012..For the whole time I have the laptop turned on at the top left side of the laptop I can hear repetative scratching / clicking sounds, Can someone please help me with this as i'm worried if I should get it fixed as soon as possible!
problem in making my laptop a virtual wi-fi hotspot using Virtual Router Manager.Earlier it worked perfectly, I successfully surfed the internet on my mobile phone with my laptop as a hotspot. Now, when I go to a website it says "service unavailable". I thought it was a problem with my phone but it works fine with other wi-fi spots. Is there any configuration I have to do in my laptop?
My laptop has hardware support for Win 7 only, so I opted for VirtualBox & installed XP Mode as guest operating system. I loaded softwares meant for Win XP like Guitar FX Box 2.6. But I am unable to set it up properly. It does not seem to independently capture the mic/line in as host OS keeps on playing the input sound in the background. There are issued of unable to select WDM streaming (getting error opening input device). Can anyone shed some light on how I can use XP Mode in my Win 7 laptop to play my guitar/music editing software effectively?
My laptop isn't even a year old and it started freezing and making weird noise. At first it didn't happen much and only happened when I was watching movies now it happens on everything I do about 4 times a day. sometimes it goes back to normal but then other times I have to press the power button and turn it off. I checked the fan and the fan seems to be fine. And I don't have a virus I scan the computer once a week.
Upon Windows startup, I hear music/noise/interviews (Sometimes two completely different sounds at the same time) Under the title "Windows Media Center Diagnostic" in the mixer.Just wandering how to get rid of it. It's getting increasingly annoying. I listen to music through the Line-in which is why the levels are the same as the "Windows Media Center Diagnostic".
i get a beeping noise now and again when playing games, its just one beep but its done it on desktop a couple of times aswell, as anyone got any ideas and how to stop it.
I am using Windows 7 Pro on a Dell Inspiron 1520. Today, when I attempted to start the unit, I heard a rapid beeping that was uncontrollable until I clicked the Control Key. There are no error messages. I have done 2 cold boots and a memory diagnostic (which found no errors) with no positive results. It begins right when the screen indicates it is Starting Windows. Once I get past that, it seems to operate normally, but I am concerned there is a root problem that will surface with disastrous results at a later time.
I recently came home to my computer after a 7 month break. I had to update a lot of things like drivers, programs, etc which went very well and I believe that all of my drivers are up to date. The problem that is occurring is that occasionally my computer will freeze for about a second and then a robotic buzzing noise will play through my headphones. I am not really sure what to think of this and I've looked for quite awhile on Google. The main answer that keeps appearing is that I should clean my computer out because it may be dusty. The problem with this is that I have no idea how I would safely clean the inside of my computer.
Here are the specs (I think): Operating System MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5 760 @ 2.80GHz53°C Lynnfield 45nm Technology RAM 6.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard Alienware 0RV30W (CPU 1)62°C Graphics ASUS VE276 (1920x1080@60Hz) ASUS VE276 (1920x1080@60Hz) ATI Radeon HD 5670 (Dell)56°C ATI Radeon HD 5670 (Dell) CrossFire Disabled Hard Drives 977GB Seagate ST31000528AS (RAID)34°C Optical Drives PLDS DVD+-RW DH-24ABS Audio Realtek High Definition Audio
I should also mention that my computer has Blue Screened once since I turned it back on a few days ago.
The computer will stop responding, the cursor shows the busy blue ring (spinning, not frozen), and I can still move the blue ring around, but unable to click on anything. CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't work, nothing works. Tried leaving it overnight but it didn't solve the problem. I had to force shut down by holding the Power button.This problem happens at random times, while using random applications, online or not, sometimes within a few minutes after turning on the computer, sometimes hours, but it happens almost every time. I have also tried turning on the computer and left it without using anything, and the same problem will happen.
So yesterday I was busily doing some work and watching something on ITV Player when shock crashed along with Microsoft Office 2007. From nowhere it started continuously beeping at me. It was rather high pitched and didn't sound as though it were coming from the speakers. I flipped it over and had a listen and it sounded as though it were coming from inside. I switched it off and back on again but the beeping simply started up again. Continuously beeping for maybe two minutes of so, frozen on the Dell start up logo, unable to enter either boot menu.
However after about five mins, I received the message: "Operating system not found". I tried inserting my windows 7 disk to do a clean install but no drivers were found. I shut it down and unscrewed the back, turned it on and had a listen. It sounded as though the hard drive was beeping, but I didn't think it even had a speaker, so I am assuming whatever is beeping is because of the hard drive. I took it out and reported the.laptop, same results as before but without any beeping at all and a much faster boot time.
My microphone keeps picking up background noises, like me breathing, my mouse and keyboard clicks. I've tried lowering ALL of the microphone "Levels" in recording settings to 0 and plugged my mic into different USB ports and I'm still getting noises, which doesnt make any sense to me.
I'm using Windows Home Premium, the Logitech New Clearchat Comfort headset/mic and the soundcard is listed as USB Audio Device (associated with the headset I'm assuming..)
I have a gateway t-series laptop that will not boot. The battery works fine and the computer turns on (power light comes on and fan spins), but the screen stays completely black. There are some media buttons near the screen that are touch sensitive that should light up when touched, but they don't. I tried resetting the RAM once and that worked as it turned on booted and ran fine, but it quickly over-heated and turned off abruptly. I let it cool and the whole not booting problem came back, and now the resetting-the-RAM trick doesn't work any more. I would appreciate any help as I am starting school soon and need a computer.
I just bought a new laptop for my uncle and am unable to connect to my internet via WiFi OR ethernet. When I run the diagnostics it tells me the dns server is not responding. Settings are to automatically connect to dns servers. I have tried changing them to a couple of addresses i have found online and have had no luck. I have many other devices in my household that have no problem connecting to the internet service. I have also run across advice to remove/disable a wireless miniport adapter, which i not found so I am assuming that isnt my issue.
When i play games or hd songs i can hear faint buzz from my gpu....when i play 720p or 1080p songs i cant hear with speakers on..when i put ear on gpu it is like electric buzz(chir chir like) but from distance it is hummmm....it also happens when playing games....but speed(frequncy) changes....i watched in ccc that at playing songs my gpu clock and memory clock rise to full but activity is near 20-25%....is this normal?
I have these annoying noises(scrathes) on my speakers,only during startup and shutdown.All windows sounds are disabled but i still get them (noises) everytime i boot or close the machine.Have this case over a year without any probs.It all began by changing motherboard and processor a couple of weeks ago.Same PSU,same cables to speakers ,monitor,power cords.
My issue didn't start till about 4 months ago. Whenever playing an online game such as Team Fortress 2 it would slow down (lag) or be choppy at times. Wouldn't happen everyday, till about a month ago, when the beeping started. It happens every hour, it is a weak beep but it comes from the inside of my computer. Also, I can't run Team Fortress 2 without it crashing every 5-10 minutes of playing. I have also noticed my whole computer has become a lot slower. I'd like to know if this can be fixed or if I should just get rid of this computer and get a new one.
I have a HP Pavilion DV6-6009TX, I bought it last year during april. Initially, it was doing ok, but starting this year around February, the programs that I launch seems to be not responding every now and then. Even microsoft word, it freezes for a good 10-20 seconds everytime I save a document, and when I type halfway, it will stop responding and resume after around 15 seconds. The problem is even worst when I try to play games. The game will spike every 5 seconds, making it unplayable. What is wrong with my laptop?
I have a Acer Aspire One 722 netbook and there are times when the system hangs and does not respond. The cursor does not move and there is NO option to "Restart Windows Explorer"( a common option when your system hangs). I am waiting for this to show (about 10 mins) but nothing happens. Only a beeping sound is heard from my system but it does not came from the inside of the laptop but from the audio speaker. The only thing I would do is to restart it manually(by pushing the restart button). Now my files had not been saved. But, fortunately the unresponsive instances does not happen every time I switch on my netbook.
