so yesterday I started up my computer and it keeps making random noises (think old school atari/pong noises) from my pc speaker though the comp seems to run fine. I've rebooted in dos and Knoppix and it still happens so I'm guessing its a hardware problem, but I have no clue what hardware failing could cause this to happen, any Ideas?

Rebooted to DOS? How old is this thing?

Did it make noises on startup? You can probably go get a list of BIOS beep codes to find out exactly what the problem is.

If it started later, it really depends upon what you're doing. I know my PC will make beeps when overheating, but it sounds like a BIOS alert.

Theres no pattern at all and it continues the entire time the comp is on.
Plus the noises aren't just simple beeps they seem to modulate and drop off at wierd intervals.

sounds like a short in the wire to the beeper speaker.
