    Ok, I don't know what's causing this (it's happening on both XP and Vista), but my 9262 will randomly beep several high-pitched, annoying beeps a couple times a week. Usually if I don't shut down/restart my computer it will give me another set of beeps a few minutes after the first. My laptop is very well ventilated, so I don't think it would be the temperature. Has anyone had any experience with this?

    It sounds like a bios problem. Try going into bios and disabling all the alarm tones and see what that does.

    What pattern are the beeps coming in, and are they a combination of long and short beeps, or not?

    They're probably a little less than a second each, and they repeat in a series of 5 or so.
