Hi ... the motherboard has its own speaker. You may be getting a fan low - speed warning. ... or maybe something else. when you start up the PC, hold down the DEL key. this should boot you into the BIOS. check the fan-speeds, adjust the thresholds, etc...

Remove any recent programs / screensavers / widgets etc, etc... as these may be causing a conflict.

alternatively reload windows.

Think about getting a more advanced pc , with windows xp. xp uses multiple - threading, so is more stable, and only one program crashes. I think windows 2000 uses only 1 thread, so if one program crashes, then the whole lot crashes too.

Hope this was helpful ... cheers, John
