My first move would be to check with the manufacturer of my motherboard --
to find out the meanings of the various beep patterns.
If this has been suggested earlier in the thread, I missed it. Sorry about
that.

I just double checked -- sounds are disable already. I've also checked my
event logs to see if I'm getting some sort of system error that I could be
addressing. Nothing there.

Is there a system utility around that can intercept calls to the beep
routine to help me trace (like you can with disk IO).
