Just had a thought as I had something similar in my old pc. Go into volume control and mute:-
Microphone
Line In
Aux

Then let us know if it goes away.

Load up MS Paint
Click on the SpeedFan window.
Press and hold Alt, then press Print Screen (PrtScn), release Alt.
Click on MS Paint.
Edit menu, Paste. Check you now have the image in paint.
Save the file as a PNG.
Upload. Post.

Should work.

I've not really used speedfan so I can't remember what is the cpu/northbridge temp. However that be a little hot, hence the fire symbols next to the temps

Do you find that it crashes fairly often as well?

Bleedin 'eck that does not look healthy, Speedfan isn't always correct though so it might not be as bad as all that. Temp1 is normally the motherboard temperature I believe although you can alter which one it picks up first, Temp2 is normally the CPU which at 82C is way too high(65C is normally about the safe operating limit depending on the CPU model), have you checked to see if the CPU cooler is covered in dust, or indeed if the fan is still spinning? The others are right when they say the speakers won't affect the beeping, it is an internal speaker(you could disconnect it since you ignore it anyway although I probably wouldn't advise this). If you give the CPU cooler a quick clean with either an old toothbrush and some lung power or better yet a can of compressed air then that should help a bit with the temperatures.

If you aren't sure what you are doing though then I reckon asking Huddy over is your best bet.

Nope no crashes at all.

I'll have a look at taking the lid off tomorrow :/ Poor pooter.

Karyn, when I get round just before next year then I will look at your rig (my word, others take the piss for me calling it that) and I will stop it making noises... I promise
