For some reason after my pc has been on for a few mins, I get this beeping noise from the built in speaker. It sounds kind of like a siren.....high pitch beep, low pitch beep, high pitch beep, low pitch beep......etc.etc. It doesn't turn off until I restart the computer, and then it just comes right back on after a few more mins. I have the case open right now, so I don't know what could be causing the problem. Any one have any insight into this? Any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Marc4, did you install the H/W Doctor program from the CD that came with the M/B? You'll be able to see what the problem is when it starts beeping. Are you overclocking?

That beeping happened to me once when I had H/W Doctor running and I walked away from the PC for a bit. It went into powersave mode and the H/W Doctor started beeping like that. It was just doing it's job and reporting the out-of-spec voltages. It does sound kind of like a european siren, though. :)
