| 704378 | 2008-09-11 04:17:00 | I have a old P4 2.4GHz system that beeps occationally from the internal speaker for no apparent reason. Its a P4B533 mobo running XP SP3 stock standard. I've been waiting for something to crap out, but it runs faultlessly other than that. Everything is up to date. I've cleaned it out, so it not overheating. The beeps are usually single & can vary in tone. Scrolling can start it off. |

| 704379 | 2008-09-11 04:26:00 | Usually the system will beep when keyboard or mouse input cannot be processed because the system is busy So it could be a software problem. Malware is a possibility.. |

| 704380 | 2008-09-11 04:50:00 | Might try another mouse. Currently using a Microsoft IntelliMouse. Using the scroll wheel can make it happen. |

| 704381 | 2008-09-11 04:58:00 | No that didn't fix it. Deffinately something to do with the scrolling action though. If I scroll up & down in this forum I can almost play a tune. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 704382 | 2008-09-11 05:25:00 | I think that you can configure windows to been at certian events. It's under accessibility options stuff (the stuff for disabled/impaired people). | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 704383 | 2008-09-11 13:12:00 | is this a PS/2 mouse or a USB one? when you use the scroll wheel i assume it still scrolls but just beeps when you do. check accessibility options and the driver |

| 704384 | 2008-09-11 22:13:00 | Both mice tryed are USB. Scroll works fine. No drivers installed. Accessibility options are all default. All settings on this system are default. I don't think this is a mouse problem. Although when I get a chance I will try a PS/2 one. As stated before there are no other problems with this system. It runs Avast Home & Super Antispyware. Both are updated & have been run. CCleaner has also been run. |

| 704386 | 2008-09-13 00:05:00 | When the beep happens, does the PC stop responding to whatever input was happening at the time when the beep happened? It could also be some kind of voltage issue, perhaps the PSU is getting old and isn't supplying good power anymore? what is the PSU and have you tried another? |

| 704387 | 2008-09-13 00:46:00 | Just go into your Sound properties, playback settings/devices and turn off/mute your PC speaker :) | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
