Hello, I just moved into my friends apartment and found that he has quite an annoying problem with his PC. When the computer is not muted there is a constant beeping noise that could best be described as some sort of siren like noise. I imagine that this should not be too difficult to fix, but I don't really know what to do or where to start. I would appreciate it if you guys could help me get to the bottom of this! My friend is not sure what type of soundcard he has, but he does believe this is where the problem is. He does not keep a cover on his tower, so I just peeked inside.
I only see 2 cards, they appear to be 1) a video card & 2) a wireless card. No signs of a soundcard at all. His computer is an X86-based PC, running XP Professional SP 2, SMBIOS version 2.2 I don't know what other info I may be able to provide, just ask if anything else is needed. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! There is no sound card, it just runs off the mother board.
I have tried re-installing an updated driver, this did not work. The sound is faint, but gets louder as the volume is raised. I was thinking it had something to do with my 5.1 system frequencies not being fully supported by the mother board or something. It is very possible it IS a heatsink problem. My buddy that installed it messed up the little plastic arms that clamp down the heatsink but said 'it would work fine'. Are these arms something I can replace or should I just by a whole new CPU? I have an Intel Pent.

4 3.0 Ghz on a Abit m/b. I just bought C&C 3 (I high performance video game) and 5 minutes into running it the game shuts off. The monitor says 'no input' but the power supply and hard drive are running. Would this be a related problem - the heatsink?
I got the tram on Sunday to Ikea but the card reader asked me to seek assistance and said I was not valid for travel. Rather than wait 20 minutes for the next Wimbledon bound tram I got on anyway. One stop down the line and the ticket inspectors were out in force. I thought oh bugger, but they just beeped my Oyster card and that was it. They were of course fining everyone who had no ticket or oyster but if they did have an oyster there was just 'beep' £1. If you have already validated your card you have 70 minutes of journey no matter how many times you are beeped, but does this mean that the ticket inspectors beepers are nothing more than validators? If this is the case you can just get on and only pay when confronted by a ticket inspector.

Click to expand.Ha ha don't worry, like I said before I don't think the advice advise thing was anything to do with dyslexia. It affects me more when I write (with a pencil) and read. Sometimes I just can't see a word properly or things just don't look right. I can write a sentence and read it a million times and be confident it is perfect. Then someone can read it out to me and all the words are round the wrong way or missing etc.
Sadly that thing about people with dyslexia being more creative or higher functioning in some way is a myth.
To Whom It May Concern: When I log on to my computer, it works fine. After about 30 seconds though, the mouse pointer starts becoming very laggy, and whenever I click the mouse, a beep comes out of the speakers that are plugged into the headphone port.
Mouse motion is very jagged, and I can't click on anything. All actions are very delayed, CTRL-ALT-DEL takes about 20 seconds to register and then show the security options, etc. What could be going on? HP Pavilion dv7t Entertainment Edition Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Thanks. Hi Noahbm, 1.

Method 2: I would suggest you to scan your computer with Microsoft Safety Scanner, which would help us to get rid of virus, spyware, and other malicious software. The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove virus, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software. Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. Note: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.
In combination with the Rabo Scanner, the card provides access to Rabo Corporate Connect. Rabobank credit card account access.
Method 3: If the issue still persists, start the computer in safe mode and check. Safe mode in Windows 7. Hope this information helps you. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you. Hello Noah, Thank you for your reply and apology for the delayed response. Were you able to run Performance Troubleshooter and Microsoft Safety Scanner as suggested by Ganesh Achar B?
What was the result? To identify the actual cause of the issue, it is important to check if the issue persists in safe mode. Safe mode is the diagnostic mode which starts your computer in limited state with only the basic files and drivers necessary to start Windows.
If an existing problem does not reappear in safe mode, it’s certain that there are some third party application or some driver might be causing the issue. Method 1: Step 1: As a troubleshooting method, first, I would recommend you to start your computer in safe mode. (Refer the link in the above post by Ganesh Achar B on February 3, 2014 to start the computer in safe mode). If issue does not persists in safe mode I would have you perform Clean boot, to eliminate the conflicting software or drivers. Follow the steps in the article below to perform clean boot. Step 2: How to perform a clean boot in Windows Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps from section “How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting” to reset the computer to start as usual. Method 2: Temporarily disable security software (Norton 360 7.0 Premier Edition) and check.
Follow the steps in the article below to disable security software. Disclaimer: If you have to temporarily disable security software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks. Hope this helps. Please let us know the status. Feel free to write us back in case you face any other issue with Windows in future. Regards, Mann Manohar.
Many credit cards have an NFC or RFID chip as well, which can be used to pay by just waving the card in front of a sensor, as opposed to having to swipe the magnetized bar in a reader. The tone you're hearing is presumably your device detecting a nearby NFC chip and prompting you whether you want to do anything. Incidentally, NFC chips in your credit card do raise the possibility of fraud or theft by thieves using NFC apps to lift info, as mentioned here:.
That's why you're starting to see ads for credit card cases or wallets that can block NFC.
