Anyone else get a random single beep coming from their HEL80? I don't recall what the low battery sound like but I think it sounds the exact same but only beeps one for a second then turns off. I'm using ac power and its plugged and working and the battery is 100%. I have no clue what this sound is for or if it is a warning sound. I just got it while watching a video so basically don't nothing but the common background stuff. I'm using all default drivers besides the video driver. Anyone have a clue?

Check your Windows error log, see if it has anything in it. Try to note down what time the beeps happen so you can correlate them with system events. That may narrow it down. Other than that, I don't have any ideas.
