Strange Beep?
My computer has been emitting a strange beep every so often (about once a day) for about 6 months now...just one solid beep. Then.....Nothing. Odd? I thought so too and the more I think about it, the more I think it might be a hardware issue.
Any idea on what it might be?

It's been random as of late though and I haven't seen any concequences while i've been on it...
edit: random, meaning completely quiet computer...and it'll beep.
I've been thinking for awhile it's my HD (considering ever since this started my torrents have been DLing at absolutely terrible levels [~5kb/sec]...which is why I'm here lol). Is there anyway to check? /me doesn't want to loose 160 Gigs of ish
edit: Although...If I could find a list of beep codes. I could prob tell you if what I'm hear is a beep code or something else :S
I just turned EVERY background noise off..and I hear a slight clicking. It's constant and EXTREMELY quiet....
And as far as the wires go. They barely make it to the fans as it is, so it's almost impossible for them to get entangled with it
So....what exactly is wrong with my CPU? (The HP site said one solid beep code is the processor )
(Motherboard test, passed. Harddrive quick SMART test, passed. Doing the extended SMART test now)
what causes it, i dont know....but i would like to
p.s. When I turned on my computer. It made the "beep" twice...once at the "welcome" screen and once when it got to the desktop (about 30 seconds apart)
etc.
p.s. I ran EVERY single test in "Hardware Diagnostic" and everything passed
My old ones were blown though if that makes a difference.
I thought that's what I said?
