I have a random series of beeps when Windows XP is running on my Gateway 300C. The beeps are not occuring when I am in the BIOS setup utility but start up and continue when Windows starts up
Hello wlammert,
I unfortunately need a few more details from you. The machine randomly beeps when you are completely logged into windows while you are performing generals tasks? If you can verify that the amount of memory the computer is reading is the same as what you actually have installed. Do this by right clicking on my computer, select properties and look at the bottom of the general tab. This is to ensure that your memory isn't starting to fail so we can remove that possibility. This model is from 2001 or so correct?
How many beeps do you get, this is very important to your solution.

The beeps are at random and sometimes are one or two. When there are two the second beep is lower in pitch than the first. Sounds very much like the old "pong" games.
I've run virus checks with nothing found. All PC functions and apps appear to be working normally.
Slick54,
Thanks for you feedback and support.
Yes, this is a older machine, with a 2001 build date.
I checked the memory seen by the PC and it is the same as the installed memory.
I'm going to change out the BIOS battery next.
