When was the last time you re-installed your operating system? Maybe goto your add/remove programes and remove some software you dont use anymore?

What i would try is back up you files to CD or DVD and then do a fresh format and re-install and start again...
How much memory do you have in?

even when I reformat my pc it still does the same thing cuz I have reformated this pc so many times and everytime it still does the same thing do you think it could be a memory leak or a possible windows error?

512mb should be ok, what cpu do you have?

So just after you do a Format and re-install of windows it does exactly the same thing? And you have not installed any other software at all after the re-install?

Thats a tuff one then, even if it makes a beep when you have done a fresh install with no other software installed is strange? Is it just one beep or several?

Is the beep from the speakers or the system speaker inside?

Ok, Check your bios for any settings? Maybe to do with the system or cpu fans? Still though it would beep longer if it was somthing with the fans, but is worth a look.... Other than that it is difficult to diagnose through a forum...

You could try updating the BIOS again... Maybe they have a newer version for your board now...

I can only suggest things for you to try and like i said befor it is hard to diagnose over a forum... Maybe you can take it into a local repair shop... Or treat youeself to a new mobo, cpu and memory : )

Did your computer boot normally after the re-install 5 months ago ??

My reboot/shutdown slowed down recently. It slowed down to 2 minutes from 15 seconds. I could not get it back to the normal until I used the Registry Mechanic. It is now back to the 15 second range.
