I have a Pentium lll eMonster 1000B w/256 MBs of RAM. The sound just began today, and I have made no system or configuration changes whatsoever. Could it be a low hard-drive warning? It's a 20 GB drive with 4.5 GB's remaining. Or, could it be a low CMOS battery warning? My Power Options does not show a Low Battery Alarm tab, so I can't even turn it off to see if that's what it is. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Check your owners manual for beep codes to diagnose the warning. If you have no manual, look up the motherboard specs on the web for the beep codes.

Try taking the RAM out and clean with an eraser and reseat it. sounds like a parity or failing RAM error. I have 2 emachines. 1 runs while I fix the other, and vice versa. Buy some RAM! you would lose date/time if the battery was gone. Might consider another HD also. You could follow my lead and buy anything else.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.

It think you need new memory. Take your memory out and replace it.
