Yeah, I have seen the exact the same thing. I took out every removable card from my computer and blew the dust off and re-installed it. When I started up the computer, the problem had dissapeared. It was a dust particle somewhere in the connection of one of my cards or a card that had somehow came loose. Either way it works fine now. Dust around the processor can cause overheating also. This will cause beeping. Make sure the processor and memory is seated correctly. The tabs on the sides of the memory should lock. If not then it needs to be taken out and reseated.

Dear sometimes this roblems come after currupting your operating system through virus etc. so as i think if u reinstall your operating system(windows XP) then it can be solved.....

Ok, i was having the same problem the first guy was having, but unfortunatly, doing all the reccommended things didnt fix it. Im going to reinstal windows and hope that fixes it. Before it pulled this little stunt, it wouldnt turn off, what could the problem be there?

Ddr and ddr2 aren't interchangeable, they have a different number of pins for the connection, so if ddr2 fit in your ddr slot then you must have forced it
If your computer uses DDR ram then you must only buy ddr
NOT ddr2

I have just had the same problem.

My wife complained "It just keeps bleeping constantly"

Unlike all the other proposed solutions, I started by pulling plugs out of the whining thing. As soon as I pulled the keyboard plug out, it stopped.

Then I discovered that the keyboard had seriously wet itself underneath with a substantial amount of coffee. It was nice and clean and dry on top.

This proves that computers, babies and the fair sex have something in common.

regards, mike
