Loud, Annoying Continuous Beeping Sound After Bios?
Aug 11, 2011
This is a annoying loud continuous beeping sound. This happens after the boot diagnostics, at the point where windows should boot up. There is a cursor in the upper right corner, and that is all it does.This is a HP Pavilion Elite m9040n PC. It came with Windows Vista, and I am upgrading to Windows 7. I stupidly didn't run upgrade advisor, and am now regretting it.When I go to HP to find drivers, no Windows 7 drivers show up for this PC. Stupidly, again, I assumed this meant that they were packaged in with Windows 7.I don't think this is a hardware issue. It happens repeatedly at boot up, but when I put the installation CD in, the PC boots off the CD just fine. This probably doesn't eliminate any hard drive issues, but the PC wasn't showing any signs before, and the installation goes through without a hitch. Is this caused by not having compatible drivers? Are there computers that can't be upgraded? I do meet the minimum requirements. 2.4 Ghz, 3 GB Ram. What may I be missing?

I need help regarding my PC. I've been getting continuous long beeping sounds lately. It seems to happen everytime I press multiple keys in my keyboard at the same time, which of course is unavoidable when you're playing games. Now everytime it happens, my keyboard wouldn't work properly, or sometimes it wouldn't work at all. Unplugging the keyboard doesn't stop the beeping, but it goes back to normal everytime the beeping stops. And I also noticed that my speaker produces low rumbling sounds everytime it happens.

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",.

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.

I just got a beautiful new laptop for Christmas (HP Pavilion g7 1260ca). Every time I start it up, it starts in "Windows Boot Manager" and makes me select Windows 7 as my operating system. That's annoying in it's self (why won't it just start on it's own! It's not like I'm running another operation system as well!) but what's even worse, as the text is appearing on the screen, a loud obnoxious beep sounds with each word that appears! I checked to make sure no keys are stuck, so it's not that. Once I choose Windows 7, I'm able to sign in with no problem.

Everytime I open IE 8 I get this sound that is so annoying and I have had a hard time explaining the sound so I recorded it.I am not sure if it is IE 8 or the sites I go to but I open by default to Google. If I go to Apple's website the sound repeats over and over again but on most it only happens when I open my browser.

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.

For some reason, I am getting an annoying ALERT sound every few seconds without any popups or anything to explain why.What is it?I tried to look up a Fault Log to see what program might be triggering the sound but I can't find a Fault Log in Windows 7.I am using the full retail release of Windows 7 Ultimate. Purchased with cold hard cash

I am running Windows 7, I actually searched through ALL the windows 7 sounds on my LAPTOP to identify the sound, and NADA! So what other type of file extension could play a sound? Perhaps I can search for it, then eradicate it. It would have to have a file extension of some sort, right?

Basically, every time i plug a USB device into my pc, be it mouse, keyboard, HDD or memory stick, the computer makes the normal 'dun dun' sound, but it then continues to make a 'dudududun' noise, occasionally continuous every 10 seconds or so.Is there a problem with the mobo, USB port, drivers or a combination of all 3. Should this be an issue i should wory about or not?

I have volume set around 8% and for some reason it is way louder than on Vista. On Vista I usually have it around 22% when I use headphones. On Windows 7 RC it's extreme loud when I set it to 22%. Anyway to fix this? I tried everything in the sound properties.

I have installed a new Creative "Soundblaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB Audio System with THX SB1095" soundcard. I disabled the old on-board card. Note: It's USB. When I start-up, shutdown, sleep or wake, I get a very loud POP thru the speakers.I contacted Creative and they told me this is "normal" because Windows 7 is polling the USB input to see if there is anything connected. This doesn't sound right, because it happens when I shutdown or sleep, too! Why would Windows poll a usb input while shutting down or going to sleep?

I am working with Windows 7 on a Dell Optiplex 755, but teh issue is with the System Volume setting. When I go to the audio mixer and do the test and configuration, the SoundMax audio level is loud and clear. The problem is with the Windows system settings somewhere, is there a limiter or cap setting in teh registry that I can set to maximum? I know that it is not the standard slide bars/levels but somewhere that Windows 7 Professional is cutting the volume on any Windows application. The drivers are fine, if I invoke the card directly it will blast the sound out. But in any application it is too soft.

So I recently assembled my new pc. I watched and read lots of tutorials, followed guides word to word and the system booted on the first time. Everything was GREAT until I got my Intel SSD a week later... I installed a fresh copy of win7 64-bit on the SSD, formatted the hard drive I was using before and assigned it to a special folder to keep my movies/games/music.
And then the freezes started. It's unlike any kind of freezing up I've ever seen. I can NEVER recover from them. If I'm doing something CPU-demanding, installing a game/copying lots of files/etc, that specific application just freezes up and whatever program I try to use afterward freezes up too! This is my first time using win7 and it's not turning out to be an enjoyable experience... I remember on XP if some program froze, I would just alt-tab to another one and continue my work until the lag is gone, and that on a low-budget system too. But when I get these lags, EVERYTHING stops working. For the first few times, I thought it was just your everyday windows fail, but this keeps on happening and starting to be annoying because I can't save anything and the only option I have to get around these freezes is to push the reset button.
I haven't tested my system yet for stability (installed the SSD yesterday) but planning on running memtest86+ over the night and super-pi maybe and see if it shows anything (although I have a feeling it's not gonna show anything). So far I've only installed basic programs (nod32, MS office, itunes, spybot, daemon tools, msn, hardware drivers...) and the system is up-to-date.
I strongly believe that these lags are somehow related to the SSD installation because I haven't had this kind of lag when I had my OS on the hard drive and these freezes often occur when I install things in the folder I assigned the HD to. But they also happen on random occasions, like when I try to open a program from the taskbar...
Here are my components:
i5 CPU
XFX 5850 GPU
Intel X-25M Postville 80gb SSD
2x2gb g.skill gbrh ddr3-1333 (changed the timings to 7-7-7-21 in bios as instructed) RAM
WD caviar black 640gb HD
MSI P55-GD80 MOBO
Samsung sh-s223b DVD writer
Antec cp-850 PSU
Antec p183 CASE
Win7 ultimate 64-bit OS
As you can see this rig SHOULD be able to run most demanding applications, although I have only worked with XP in the past so I don't know how much the OS affects this. I already played CoD: MW2 on this and it was flawless so I have a hard time believing that my system is just too "weak" for my purposes... and so I turn to you guys. I think this is all the info I can provide, let me know if you need more.

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've just installed Windows 7 SP1. When I open up and use any USB I get a bubble warning:"This USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi-Speed USB port. For a list of available ports click here."There is a box to tick that is supposed to stop this annoying pop-up but it does not seem to work.

I just installed Windows 7 on a brand new DIY build. It works great except EVERYTIME I start up the computer I get a small window in the middle of the screen that has this at the top: Msg, and a sentence in the window that reads "Your version is the latest version." I then press "OK" and it disappears.How do I get this to quit appearing on start up?"

I've seen like a million other threads for this particular problem with just about every kind of possible solution there could be. However, as no two computers can be identical, I'd give it a shot and get some help on this one.
After attempting to resume Windows 7 from Sleep, none of my displays awoke so I shut the system down, checked all cables and leads for the monitors. As it were, no issues.
I booted my PC to be presented with a whole lot of ... Nothing. All drives and fans were functioning, my DVD ROM did it's little check for CDs, all the normal crap, only it neither woke up, or brought me to GRUB.
Thus far, I've reset CMOS, done bare bones booting, tried my GPU, HDDs and PSU in my several other self built machines. No problems, no drama.
I'm yet to test my CPU and RAM in another machine, as I don't actually have another capable of it at present. I'm also quite unsure on whether my speakers works or no, I've tried several with no beep codes.
As of right now, it's still set up for bare bones booting. I should also mention that the power button needs to be held to kill the system on an attempted boot.

i have a HP Pavilion a6305 with a nettle motherboard and phoenix bios. For a while now i'd been having trouble booting, sometimes white lines or dots would flicker once at the HP Invent screen and just freeze there. But for the past 3 days now I haven't been able to boot at all, whenever I turn it on it just goes beeep-beeeeeeeep and doesn't show anything on the screen, when looking up the beep codes I couldn't find what this one meant. I've tried unplugging all leads and just use the power cord but this made no difference. I've also had a brief look inside, the fans are working fine and it's not clogged with dust.

On my new PC with Windows 7 I logged in as administrator, created a folder "Portable Programs", installed my portable programs and data into it, set up Synctoy 2.1 to synchronise it with whatever portable device I like to use (sometimes I need a portable harddisk, sometimes a USB stick is more practical).
When I connected my portable device to an XP Home computer (in desperate need of data) the "Portable Programs" folder was there but it looked empty. XP was not able to run chkdsk.
Back home I saw that there was a lock symbol on this folder. I looked into the security settings, saw System and Administrator with limited rights and no other user or guest rights. All files inside the folder looked still disappeared. After changing access rights they were back and fully accessible... but will they still be on any other computer. I'd like to be sure before any next unpleasant surprise.
BTW I get the impression that MS is using Windows 7 in a secret battle against portability. So far none of my thinstalled programs run on Windows 7, Sandboxie is a real struggle.
