At first I thought it was a overheating issue with the CPU or something, so I checked it -- it's fine, 40c. However, lately when someone sends me a message on MSN or AIM while the screensaver is on my computer randomly goes BEEP. It's annoying because I really thought it was an overheating CPU or something.
I have Windows Vista installed.
2.2GHz AMD Althon 64bit X2 4200+
3GB DDR PC3200 (3x 1GB - Cas Latency 2.5)
nVidia 8800GTX 768MB SLI
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe

It's coming from the mobo, not the speakers.

It probably does that to alert you, to the fact you have a message. You have to disable that in your IM client.

You have to go into your IM program and modify that aspect of the program. I use my IM all the time at work but I don't need the whole world to know about it. So I went into the program (I use yahoo messenger) and changed it so that it DOESN'T beep each time I get a message. And I use my screensaver all of the time, and I've never gotten a beep since.

dude just turn down the volume of your speakers, you can leave media player on and then the screensaver will appear and it will still play, and if its not the speakers the its the speaker in your case/ tower and if it still dosnt work go to control panel, sounds and setting something like that and look for the one THAT ALERTS YOU AND TAKE IT OFF

except you outfitted the laptop your self and did no longer put in a speaker, there is one in the case. It won't play symphony track, yet Ding.wav sounds the comparable no count what speaker this is performed on.

Do you have password protection enabled on your screensaver?
Try disabling it and see if that does it, because I can see that conflicting with an IM message notification.

Why don't you turn off your screen saver, ei? try it. Don't you know that screen savers can actually make your pc a little bit slower?

It sounds like you have an automatic email notifier on your computer.

That's your email alert.
