Hi moonraker55,

A Google search will of course provide hits for beeping on Sony, or any other manufactures computer, as the BIOS will produce a Beep Code during ‘power-on self-test’ (POST) to indicate any hardware problems found. But as the sound is not being emitted from the speakers I doubt this is your problem.

My initial thought is that a cooling fan is faulty or clogged with dust as this would seems to be a mechanical noise.

I suggest that you download a free utility such as PC Wizard and let us know recorded temperatures for the CPU and GPU during normal use.

You could also try using a canister of compressed air (Air Duster) to clean the cooling vents. This may only be a temporary solution as disassembly could be necessary to carry out a thorough clean/fan replacement.

Wow! All those beep codes, and it was just the dust that caused this. Nice to know complicated issues have the simpliest answer.

We don't know that dust is the cause at present - it is just a supposition...
