"Critical Stop" sound while loading desktop and taskbar



This problem is strange but common it seems, here what it is:

After Windows XP SP2 loads successfully or during loading desktop with
taskbar icons, i get a "critical stop" sound, but NO error logs in
event log, and NO error dialog boxes or NO problems. Just having
critical stop sound after/during loading Windows after SOME boot ups.
Some boot-ups, because it usually does not occur. It sometimes occur.

Why?
