ABit NF7-S revision 2.0 quiet beeping, sounds like a truck backing up

I have external speakers hooked up to the onboard sound output on my Abit NF7-S rev 2.0 motherboard, and I can hear this quiet, but extremely annoying persistent "beeping" sound. It took me a while to figure out what it was, since it sounds almost exactly the same as the noise that trucks make while backing up, and I thought I was going crazy, but apparently I'm not.

I've tried reinstalling all the motherboard and onboard sound drivers, but I still experience the problem. I've actually managed to record this annoying sound, so it looks like the onboard sound port is actually creating this sound somehow. Anyways, if anyone has any suggestions about how to fix this, please let me know, since it's slowly driving me insane!

I'm running Windows XP SP1 on the machine, with a Barton 2500+ CPU, 1 gig of Samsung RAM, and an Enermax power supply. Thanks,

AtmosFear

possibly a temp or voltage warning alarm set too low or high (assuming your temps/voltages are actually in the proper ranges). Check in BIOS and/or health monitor software.

I don't believe it, I think you may have actually solved my problem! I didn't even consider that this sound could be a result of the temperature ranges, since it was barely noticable, and I'd always assumed that the voltage monitors alert you with a much louder sound when you go outside the ranges. Anyways, thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it.
