Re: Dell Machine Beeps 30 Times

Pull the cover off the case and see if you can pinpoint where the sound may be coming from. I still don't see how it can produce sound without any power, yet we've all seen stranger things develop here and there.

Are you sure you don't have anything set on a timer somewhere in the room that when
heard it appears to be coming from the PC?
