This annoying "Beeep" sound on my PC! please help

recently I have some kind of a problem on my PC
I use my PC & suddenely , he stuck , nothing moving & there is a "beeep" sound all the time. I have to turn it down & then to turn it on again.Usually Soulseek is on when it happens.

I read in one site that RIAA want to send to users that sharing MP3z some kind of a virus or something.
Anybody have a clue what's up with that?

1) Faulty drivers. Been installing any new software lately?
2) Bad OS. Win 98 in particular is notorious for this kind of crashing.
3) Faulty hardware. Possibly memory related.
4) Overclocking has made your PC unstable.
5) Virus (there's always a possibility...)

I have Win XP

3) Faulty hardware. Possibly memory related.

Everything was OK untill one month back

4) Overclocking has made your PC unstable.

What's overclocking?

5) Virus (there's always a possibility...)

you should.. there are some big nasty security holes in xp that have been fixed.

you'll need to install service pack 1 before you can get any updates though.. and if your copy of xp isn't 'official' it's a bit of an arse. if you can't do it, pm me and i will send you the required stuff.

Why do you reffer to your computer as 'he'?

as fray (goldenarmz) said there are a wide number of secuirty holes fixed, as well as fixing bugs that have been discovered since the release of XP. the only update that checks the registration is service pack 1.

I usually hit cancel when XP offers me to install updates but I've been told that they can be pretty useful.. I'm just too lazy to do it every time and they pop up very often.

Guess these tons of updates are the first consequence for beta-testing XP with users instead of debugging it beforehand

What you mean "rip out" ?
& why does the PC freeze?

Posted by jon on May-16-2003 20:40:

at a rough guess its freezing due to a memory leak, which can come from a number of things, although in general windows xp is pretty good at memory management, i suggest windows update as this will patch bugs etc that have been found. try uninstalling the current version of soulseak and installed a older version. also could you list your computer specs, and what software you have running.

open up pc and find the system speaker and yank it out

yank out the speaker and see if it still freezes up

yeah,,do that and you're gonna have a nasty problem..
it won't get any better, you just won't hear that beep sound, which actually indicates that something is wrong with your pc.

pulling out the speaker will not solve the problem... the pc speaker has been in pc's since the 1980's and will not cause any problems, the reason why its beeping is because something is wrong

If it only happens when you're using soulseek it's more likely a software than harware problem. Have a look at the soulseek troubleshooting.
