Constant BIOS beep but Comp works fine

My old E6400 computer's internal speaker sometimes (seems random, but it happens more frquently now) constantly beeps when I turn it on. Everything POSTS and works fine, but I'm not sure what the BIOS is trying to tell me. According to CPUZ the processor temps are fine. Before, I would reset it and it would stop beeping, but now it does every time I boot it. It does its inital beep but then constantly does a short beep (never stops, but I don't want to leave it running long enough to find out the hard way what it means). I've left it running for hours when it turns out without the repetitive beeps.

Specs:
E6400 @ 2.1GHZ
ASUS P5LD2 Motherboard
2GB RAM
8800GT

I read elsewhere that a fan could have failed, but I haven't found a spot in the BIOS where it told me that information....


edit: I opened the case and it looks like all the fans are working...

Yeh probably should check what fans are being monitored, maybe a warning is sounding for example when a fan is below 600RPM and your fan is running at 500RPM or summit...
I have a couple of slow fans in my system so I make sure that any warnings are at specific RPM amounts in keeping with the spec of the fans.

Could be that, try turning the monitoring off of all the fans in your system and see if the beeping stops.

Also, your manual should tell you what the beep codes mean, maybe?
