Re: Constant beep when calculating, is boring

Just because you've never heard it in seven years, it's then when the itch can set in ;>)

Yes it can beep, when something has gone bad on the motherboard and not the first time brought up in the crunching world such as discussed here: http://www.overclock.net/amd-general/949169-beep-coming-computer-case.html. There's the lesser bad news, but still a beep coming due a network issue: See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=2712

edit: for starters, how hot is your system running and when did you clean out the insides [de-dustbunny] the computer?
