My PC gives of a bleeping noise on occasions this gets quite annoying and I
have to shut down to get rid of it, It is a four month old PC Quad core Intel
372 gig HD only 75 gigs used on drive. Vista Premium, Windows One Care.
I have heard that a faulty Drive could be responsible. I can take it to be
checked as it is on Warranty but can they see if it is the drive when it has
only happened on five occasions in four months?
thanks

It could also be warning you of a temperature rise. Maybe a CPU or case fan
is not running fast enough. Sometimes, there are little applets checking
that fans are running as they should. Unfortunately, they don't always get
it right..

Hi Redline,

You might check your BIOS settings to see if you have any warning
alerts enabled that may be the cause of this. For example, when the CPU
gets above a certain temperature.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Do you have a UPS unit supplying power? If so, check to make sure the
software is Vista compatible. I had to uninstall some APC software to get
rid of such a noise one time.
