    I did a search of this forum concerning beeping and language bar and there came up with nothing. Anyways, a friend of mine had a similar issue with his G51VX with P8700 + GTX 260m. The gpu runs hot enough but even when it's just moderately 15 minutes into a gaming session the thing would beep like crazy. At first we tried disabling all languages in tool bar besides English to then gradually just disabling language toolbar altogether. During a L4D session, the AWSD and sometimes space bar and any other action button would cause beeping. I was just wondering if this beeping had much more to do with anything else besides the language toolbar scrolling and gpu heating?

    not sure what happens but there are 2 things coming to my mind.
    1: your friend uses puntoswitcher or similar program which change language of already typed keys after pushing space bar if that written word does not exist in selected language but exist in another language which is also selected by user. For example, you wrote smth like "example" but forgot to change language and you got some pile of symbols on another language"учфьзду". If you have such programs they will retype immediately words in another language and make a beep as signal about that. When you are playing game you push different buttons but program think that you are typing. In this case you should save game in extension list.
    2: He pushes 5 times shift button which make that happen.

    Why the heck you started to suspect GPU and Language bar????????
    Use GPU-z to monitor temperature.

    Remove the chinese language from your control panel under language

    When disabling the language bar tool or removing the chinese language it doesn't beep any more of course. Keep in mind the beeping started when things got hot.. about 15 minutes into gaming. I know there's probably many others that this is happening to as well so I suggest disabling the language tool and getting a decent notebook cooler such as the Rosewill RNA-7700 (what I use). If you have a ROG with the side exhaust and not the stealth design of the with 5870 or gtx 460m gpu then it's probably essential to get a notebook cooler.

    If he presses ctrl+spacebar again after beeping starts, does it go away? I can only think of him repeatedly pressing the hotkeys involving shift, ctrl and spacebar causing it to switch IME. You can also try changing the system sound to Mute/Nothing by going into Personalization through right clicking the desktop. This way it won't beep even if the computer thinks you're trying to type in something thats not English.
