Annoying beeps

[Guest]

I've got an ASUS K8N motherboard with Realtek ALC850 sound card. Until quite
recently, it worked quite fine. But then, something went wrong. My system is
currently making beeping noises out of the case speaker everytime the
speakers make a noise. It's really annoying and especially so when I turn off
the speakers, and the case speaker still makes the noise. Can anybody help me
out with my predicament here?

Oh, and just to clarify, the case speaker I'm talking of here is the Chassis
Intrusion Detection speaker. Intrusion Detection isn't turned on, and regular
sound card drivers are installed properly.

Can someone help me out of my annoying problem?

Case speakers also can provide the beeps for:

Over-heat temp. warnings
Bad motherboard alerts (usually during Boot / POST )

Are you sure it is not one of "those" problems???

I'm 100% positive it's not overheating or motherboard problems. I'm in
Windows, aren't I? And everything in my computer reports a stable temperature
of around 49 degrees F.

No, the problem lies somewhere else. The beeps occur only when I open a new
window, and it only happens when I open new windows of certain programs. If
the system is set to beep when a window is opened, it should beep out of the
PC Speakers, not the Case Speaker. And it should beep when every window is
opened, not just when certain windows are opened.

HI,

I'm interesting in how can you run a computer at a temperature of just 49
degree F or just 9.44 degree C? What is your room temperature?

What is the program or application that cause it to beep?
What is your mobo BIOS, AMI, Award or Phoenix?
How it beeps, long short or what?

I think there may be bad rams at certain physical address inside the ram
chips.
If you have more than two ram chips on the mobo, try just use one ramchip
for testing the specific program that cause the PC to beep. Swap the ramchip
to repeat the test. You may also try to run some ram test application for
testing the ram.

Pls post back to the NG.

49 degrees F?
overclock it or take the fan off --- maybe that will raise the temp

I'm sure the OP meant C, not F.

Sorry, those temperatures were in degrees C. I just wasn't paying attention
when I posted them.

Anyways, the beeps seem to have taken care of themselves. I'm using a
program called Glass2K to transparentize my windows, and had set it to beep
everytime it was loaded. So sorry that I didn't notice that earlier.
