BIOS making unknown POST beeps
Beeping cpu
Okay so I've got this weird problem and I'm just posting this on several forums quick, not sure where else to put this.
A few minutes ago while my anti-virus was scanning I started getting beeps, the sequence was 1 long delay, 2 quick. I had this about three times, then it stopped. A minutes later it happened again except only one sequence. Now my PC is completely fine, no indication of anything wrong happening, no burning smell, overheating, loss of performance etc. My mobo is an Asus pn5.
I had this sequence a few months ago but it wasn't irregular or random, my GPU was overheating because it accumulated too much dust and I assumed that it solved the problem, there was nothing to indicate anything else was wrong and the beeping stopped. I've also moved my CPU away from the wall a bit more so it should be cooler in general.
Note I have checked everything is seated fine as it always has been.
I have no clue what is wrong, should I replace anything? Right now I'm sitting at around 15 minutes of no beeps thinking my computer isn't going to explode.
Thanks.

I have two questions:
1. Do sounds play on your computer (can you play an mp3 etc)?
2. What anti-virus are you using?
My PC was hand built, these are my specs: http://i56.tinypic.com/10pbtqv.png
