Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

All good responses and thoughts guys! I'll try your suggestions, but it may
be a week or so. I'll be away for a few days. I'll make sure that I get
back to you when we resolve the issue.

Do you use an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to connect your equipment to the
wall power?
They will beep when they are self checking.

Nice thought Richard if the OP does use one, it's software is installed and
configured to test every night w/sound turned on to warn when power is lost. Which
reminds me I should run a test on mine which I do manually w/o any sound, it does
however make a buzzing sound which I can actually put up with more than those damn
beeps.

Once the power is removed from the PC, at the most it should only take about 10

way anything let alone noise emanate from the machine.

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?

My Dell Dimension 3000 Beeps 30 times at 12:13 every night. The rest of the
time it operates fine. What is causing this, and how do I stop it? It
continues even if I unplug the machine.

Machine specs are: Intel Celeron running at 2.66 Ghz. with 512 MB of RAM.
Operating System is Windows XP Home. Computer maintenance, Anti-Virus, and
Spyware Programs are up-to-date.
