computer keeps beeping

[amaltman47]

can anyone tell me how to stop my computer beeping

[Postdog]

I couldn't (low battery maybe) but I think people may need to know a bit more than that to be able to help.

SWITCH IT OFF!!!!!!!!!

how exactly do you mean... occasionally bing ............... bing
... all the time bing.bing.bing.bing.bing.
.... or only when you ...

check that no keys are sticking on your keyboard

what happens next
which windows
what make/model

[deggers316]

prob full of dust /.fans clogged and overheating /

[pinktwink]

yes check keys not stuck, is your screen broke??

All sensible answers amaltman. I was going to suggest that your computer's sending you subliminal messages, but I didn't think you'd appreciate that reply before the others'd said first! Sorry.
Hope you soon sort the problem out.

I'd have suggested opening it up, locating the speaker and cutting the wires to it. But as the beeping may be an indication that something is wrong, go with AC's response first :-)

I'm still reading all the answers. The sound isnt a bing it is a beep and to describe like my grandson did, it was a beep that he didnt have enough breath to finish it.
any help

is it still beeping?

ok - swap bing for beep ...
is it still beeping? (you say tomato and all that - as long as it's not playing abba it's not realy an issue)

1 long?
did it affect the machine - make it shutdown or pause

back to the keyboard - when a key sticks it beeps - the repeat rate sets how frequently - fast sounds like 1 long beep (bing?) - you move your arm, book - whatever and it stops

the other option is the one everyone has latched on - it's overheating.
laptop or desktop?
(look back or search these pages - you'll find 100s on how to clean the inside of a machine)

What your grand son described could be a short circuit in your speakers, which give an audible sound intermittently with even the slightest vibration....so try moving them,or if built-in,remove 6.3ml plug on rear,then replace. if it is this, don't forget to replace cable.
