Hey guys,
I have a problem with my desktop pc as it creates a weird beeping sound whenever it starts up. It seems to be ok if you restart the computer, but if you turn it off and turn it back on again a distinctive beeping noise comes around. It kinda sounds like a warning noise but nothing is wrong, the computer starts up fine and is not too hot. What may this be?
It's quite loud and usually stops after the Windows XP symbol has loaded...

Thanks.
