i just leave my pc on all the time, hardly turn it off and last night i just heard it start beeping. It i a constant beep for about 3 seconds then nothing for a few seconds and the beep again and it just keeps going. the screen was blnak to.
i tried to restart and it did the same thing as soon as i turned it on. ive tried flashing the bios but it still wont start up and keeps beeping.
any help would be great.

Check your motherboard specifications. Newer motherboards give audio feedback in case of problems. It rather sounds like a software-induced noise, however. Is it a PC-speaker beep or a software (soundcard) beep?

Video card is three beeps. I'll never forget that noise from when my 3D Prophet died.

Might want to check your bios battery too. If your settings are mysteriously changing, then its an early indication that your battery is about to die. Fortunately those things are only $2-3 in cost. By far the cheapest thing to fix on a computer. LOL
