    Isn't that what it does when it over-heats?

    What do your temps look like? You can use HWMonitor to check them out. You will need an ati catalyst driver that is newer than the one sager ships with the laptop if you want to see your gpu temp.

    I had this issue before with mine. The beeps are related to overheating. Turned out it happened when my hard drive got over 55*C. Check to ensure your temps are within normal operating ranges.
