    I looked up phoenix mother board beep codes; however, my sager makes one beep ever couple of minutes and sometimes sounds like a hardrive spindle moving or a dvd shifting slightly..the sound the xbox makes when it doesnt read a dvd properly. so ever 5 mins a beep..what does that mean?

    use hdtune to run a scan of your hard disk.

    the beeping is getting really annoying. il do the hdtune scan today. not sure what the problem is. i think its 3 beeps with pauses in between. 1st pause is longer than second pause

    Is it the battery warning? I just disabled beeps in the BIOS since they were bugging me -.-

    gah i waited 45 min for support online on xoticpc, stillno answer..however sales support : 1-5 minutes. >_> not to mention my harddrive has going to 68oC even after i fixed the bios and enabled ahci...maybe its because i went to xp and changed the bios to xp, and vice versa when going to win 7.
