Hi I am running Windows Xp Pro Sp1 and very recently started getting beeps from deep inside the computer.  It seemes it all started when I INSTALLED this program called WebZip 6 .  It would beep then a few seconds later Windows would FREEZE, not even the mouse cursor or anything would work.

the program that seem to excite this the most is Winzip8 every time I press "extract" the beeping starts and the com hangs. It also occurs other times but at a random BASIS, even when the computer is idle.

I have scanned many times but there is no virus.
I installed Windows XP pro again on another drive and as soon as I used Winzip the beeps came back!!

Any help is really appreciated.how many beeps could it be ram graphics card?Checked the fan on my graphics card, seems to be running ok. Ram I don't know how to CHECK. Initially It beeps about once a minute, now just one beep and the thing freezes. But only in Windows.try this >http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.aspFound that the beeping was from the hard drive. called seagate and they said it was a mechanical fault didn't know those things could beep...
