sometimes my pc makes a single loud beep (even when on mute).. my wifi is off, my volume/speakers are off, i dont have to be doing anything...it can just be idle on desktop and it will randomly beep..
this happens once in a while..like every week or two...
any idea?

hi all, it happened again... pc has only been on for like 20 minutes and it made that loud beep... sounded like it came from the upper left hand corner of the laptop (near esc key corner) any ideas?
have ANY of you had this? i might have to get this checked out :| -

Did you look in the logs to see if there was any event corresponding to the beep time? Was the machine sitting idle? What was running?

Check maybe you have a stuck key in the keyboard that could also produce the beeping sound.
