    It it like a loud chirp or something? It might jsut bee the system starting the sound drivers and speakers. If it's offensive you should try re-installing the sound drivers and it that doesn't work, have Gateway repair it.

    Lots of computers have a system beep. My 8510GZ(basically a low-end M680) does not...however, I have system beep disabled in Windows...so if the beep occurs when Windows is starting to load, perhaps that is what is causing it?
