that would be your system speaker beeping and trust me it is trying to tell you something. go into the bios and see if you system is overheating or any fans have stopped working.

Could it be the graphics card going mad cause its power connector isn't connected? My old 6800le used to make a loud whine when not powered.

A continuous repetetive beep is usually a sign that the motherboard is overheating or thinks it's overheating. As stated, power up, go into the bois & view the pc's health status, let's see what the temperature readings are. Also tell us what motherboard, cpu, ram & graphics card do you have?

If you have a manual for the motherboard it may well have a guide to bios beep codes in that.

However, if it's doing it after a crash I'd say the finger of blame is pointing to the motherboard possibly being faulty if the temps are showing as normal. If you're still running Win2k I'm guessing the mobo may well be knocking on a bit.

knowing which mobo it is would help others to help you.

That takes away the element of surprise.

Try reseating the memory.

Check if your PC is reversing.
