Check to make sure all your bios settings are right if not you have a hardware conflict somewhere
I do not know how old your Dell is but fans will cherp, eventually they will squeak and if not changed will stop being a fan and cause damage due to over heat of chips. Check your power supply fan, some times they run slow if they are going, also the CPU fan needs to turn all the time. Pull the side cover off and what the main chip fan (CPU fan) see if it runs on start up it should and also some boards such as video boards have fans on the chips. I would suspect a random chip is a fan. Not expensive to replace fans, Very expensive to replace boards or CPU..

I have exactly the same problem. A short "Chirp" (less then a second) and then hours noting, and then again. I've had this issue for more than a year now. The PC runs very well and I'm 99,99% sure I'm Virus-free.
It's not mechanically from the fan, I'm positively sure of that.
Great if you could help !!!
