    Hey guys, my laptop is beeping randomly... it beeps once maybe every hour or two, but everything still works and the only thing I do is surf the net and word process. I'm sure it's not a virus or anything, so just wondering if anyone has any idea what I should do?

    It's just 1 beep for like 1 second, and everything still works after it beeps, and it seems to only do it when I'm running Windows :confused:

    Just off the top of my head, it could be a battery issue which wouldn't seem to be it because you'd know if it was the battery pretty fast. It could be Windows finding an internet connection or something similar to it.

    i have the same problem with my acer 5672... sometimes randomly does bip bip..
    and it is not battery (it's on AC) or windows finding anything, because i'm just running outlook and a few apps for work
