    Ive had the g73sw for about a month now. I did a clean install from the very beginning. The motherboard or system what have you beeps once in awhile. Sometimes it might beep a couple times throughout the day, sometimes beeps everyfew minutes for 30 minutes. It is erratic, and I have no idea why it does this. I am not sure what information you would need from me but all my drivers are updated and I believe all my firmware is updated, harddrive and bios. Funny I stepped away from my pc typing this and came back and just as I moved the mouse the screen went black and came back and said NVIDIA driver failed and has recovered. That was a first. I know the current Nvidia driver is a beta but dont know how significant that event was. Whoa.. Now everything on my pc just froze. Mouse, keyboard everything, I had to turn power off to restart. This is a first also. The only thing I have been working on for a couple weeks which I was just currently doing is to update all drivers. I was using Drivermax and today the last driver updated was some type of usb generic device. SO yes again all drivers are updated. The computer seemed to run hotter when I first had it and now runs much cooler, whatever that means. Any ideas whats going on with the beeping? Thanks

    I see a few different issues... the beeping might be that your laptop is low on power when it isn't plugged in. The crashing from sleep mode seems to be a common issue... possibly if you have an SSD -- a few SSDs with un-updated firmware have that problem.
