    So this is new issue I think... Couple of nights ago, I was downloading something and I wasn't even near my laptop when beeping sound starts... Its in same rhythm every time, like 7-8 beeps and after that ends. Beep beep beepbeepbeep beep... beep beep beepbeep beep... And after that 2 days were passed and problem again occurs... I don't have any problem running my laptop, I don't have virus, Trojan. It never restarts, temps are OK, just this beeping sound.



    Strange thing, its not coming from the laptop itself, it's registered like windows sound in sound manager, and when I mute system sound of course I don't hear that. I don't if that beeping sound has some connection with keyboard problem coz I saw on the internet that beeping sound may be present because of that.



    And yes, I don't have any lenovo program on my laptop for management stuff and things like that, so its not bloatware problem...

    why don't you scrutinize your current sound schema to figure out where this sound corresponds to?

    scrutiwhat? :) ok i know what you meant, i'll try to do that first time when i have free time with my laptop... But i really dont know, im afraid that this is some kind of bios or motherboard error, and since laptop dont have internal speakers this is the only way of bios/mb beeping..

    Bios and mobo beeps are independent of windows sounds. You would still hear the beep even after disabling win sounds if that were the problem.
