    Graphics card is 32c. Nothing is connected except usb mouse, keyboard and headphones.
    I don't have a spare keyboard, the present one is ps2 could it be that?
  • suegoo, that's fine but tells me ......... not alot.

    Now you need to look at the BIOS min. levels when a warning alarm will alert you, not what they are at, IYSWIM

    Nooo, it's not the keyboard.

    well tbh it probably isn't the keyboard but could be, easy test ->start up your computer, observe it beeping, unplug the keyboard, leave it/carry on using computer using mouse & on screen keyboard (type "osk" into the run box).

    see if computer keeps beeping

    Ok now you will think I am a complete numpty, I have looked but cannot find anything in the BIOS re alarm or min temps.
    The manual does not give this info either.

    To clarify the beeping is completely random, it can happen whilst surfing, or gaming or even when the pc is not being used at all.
    I have been using it for over 5 hrs this morning and not one beep.
    As a matter of interest I found and disabled the floppy drive in the BIOS as I don't have one.
  • Run the computer with the side off for a while and see if it still beeps.
