    I just woken up to my M17XR2 making a rapid beeping noise, about one every second. Windows was locked up and i was required to do a hard boot. Any idea what the beeping noise was trying to tell me?

    My first thought would be overheating. Was the laptop asleep, screensavered, downloading files or what?

    Bad memory will cause a constant beep
