daywane:

every thing is working fine
gateway
1.8 CPU
256 meg ram
had a not so legal xp pro on it
I found the original restore disks so I put the correct XP home on it
Updated all the drivers and service PAC 2
now ever 5 or 10 min. I hear a low pitch beep and a higher pitch beep
maybe like 5 seconds each

CPU fan going?
memory checks out, OK
I removed all cards, AGP and PCI
reseated memory cards
reseated the CPU fan
no luck still beeps.  :dunno

never did this till I put xp home on it.
PC belonged to MY sister. (bought from gateway new)
after a few years she got a nasty virus.
She got fed up with it and gave it to me.
I formated it and stuck in XP Pro SP2
never had it on the internet.
The other day I thought I would give this PC a try on the web.
She had the restore disks.
( she said they did not work)
I had no problems at all with them
I went to my father in laws house (high speed internet there)
did like 2 hours of updating
and seems great but now the stupid beeps.

Loki:

And you get what... beeping and all black screen?
Does it stop somewhere?

You can often find the meaning of the beeps in the mainboard manual and maybe on internet.

daywane:

no problems with pc
as beeps come and go there is no noticable effect.
dvd copies
game play
as I type to you a set of beeps
the PC shows no problems



Loki:

Ah, so it's a windows thing... didn't read right, I'm a bit tired :P

I found some topic that sounds like a similar problem

I hope you can find something useful in it.

btw, does it come out of your normal pc speakers or the little one inside your pc.

daywane:

internal speaker

I will check out your link

on google all I can find is a boot problem
I do not have anything like that.
starting to think a bad driver
I did change modems after installing gateways aps (fax and what not)
also I changed keyboards.
