Beeping sounds before Windows startup

Hi guys, need some help here. Every time I boot up the M17x, right after the setup/bios screen where they prompt to see if you wish to enter the screen F2 /F12, and aftr the Intel Raid config screen where they prompt you to press Ctr+I to enter the setup, and right before the Windows Startup screen, the speakers will have a constant beeping sound that goes on for quite a while, before loading the startup screen as usual. What could be the problem? This set is fresh out of the box and everytime else seems to be working perfectly.

My system config as follows
i7 720
5870 graphics card
2 x 500gb hdd in raid

any solutions? thanks !

 

These are possibly POST BIOS error codes. Errors are normally identified by beeps or the flahing lights.

Another issue could be a faulty capacitor on the MotherBoard/GPUs, that is if the beeping continues after entry into windows.

 

thanks for the tip. but mine problem doest seems to go away.

another weird thing I noted was that when i click to login windows to key in my password, seems like a key was stuck and it went on in a loop nonstop.

 

well, there's your problem then, you have a stuck key Run Alienware diagnostics (download from Dell support - Drivers and Downloads) Create a boot USB and run diagnostics before windows.
Hope that helps... some other guys might know how to fix stuck keys...
