The noise is from the computer unit itself, so not the monitor or speakers or anything. Often, it will turn itself off after the beeping starts. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Looks like your overheating. Shut your computer off, take off the side panels or at least the side that will allow you to view the fans on the processor and the case. Dust may be your problem. If you see a lot of dirt and dust around your fans and the processor heat sink, buy a can of moisture free dust cleaner. Basically, pressurized air. Give all the fans, including the power supply a thorough cleaning. If any of your fans are not working, replace the non-working fan.

What you hear area beep codes, different cmos bios have their own beep codes, which means that your pc has a problem. The one that you hear comes from the small speaker within the cpu's housing.
There are certain cause of it. Maybe your pc is overheating and it is in automatic shutdown you hear that. You can also hear it when you have bad memoies, " when it is booting". or you have loose cables connecting between your pc and monitor.

Thats called an "ERROR CODE" the short reason is that there is somthing wrong with your pc and its telling you, since you didnt say how many beeps I can not tell yuo the correct reason why, as there is a number of beeps assigned to each error. if you start in safe mode perhaps you can find the error and fix it?

I'd recommend trying to hunt down the free version of Everest by Lavalys(as they've discontinued it), basically use that to check the sensors on your motherboard and test your RAM. If you find the CPU sensor is reading over 60 C with barely anything running then it would be a case that your processor's heating is failing.
If your computer seems to skip and start, then beep and reset, then it's most likely faulty memory.

Sometimes believe it or not someone put a weird code into your computer, so it beeps like that. To turn it off go to computer settings. Usually there is a sound on and off switch.

If the beeps are happening when you start up, then they are error codes telling you something isn't working right. Need more info.

Most likely, you have a RAM chip thats loose and needs to be plugged in tight. Just open up your desktop, clean off all the dust. Locate your RAM module(s), undo them, and fix them back in snugly. This should solve it.
Its either this, or your computer is heating too much.

If you are a sloppy typist, you could be hitting a combination of keys that can produce this effect. I do, once in a while, even though I am an expert typist.

The residing house windows boot menu (secure mode, etc), or the computer boot menu? examine connections--capability and documents--to thepersistent and on the motherboard. in case you like a brand newpersistent, they runs below $one hundred.

Some PCs have temperature sensors and overheating alarms. It's fairly rare, but it is one possibility.
Check to make sure that all of your fans are spinning properly.
