Well....i've been running this system for over a year, it has no case speaker, i just installed a new PSU and now it keeps beeping 4 times about every 5 minutes wtf? i thought maybe it was the psu....but it doesn't sound like its coming from it.. :shrug:

Wheres it coming from what does it mean and how do i stop it, the system is running fine...

Axp 2800+ @ 2.25ghz
A7N8X-X
1GB pc3200
BFG 5900nu
new psu is a Aspire 550W chameleon

i changed my IDE connectors too, but my floppy dvdrw and hdd are working just fine i don't know why its beeping...

sure there's not a piezo speaker built onto the mainboard somewhere ? Usuall it would be near the bottom right corner. Some mobo's have this instead of or in addition to the system speaker header.

Have you considered that a gremlin has possible invaded your pc and has constructed a small speaker in order to communicate with you? I say you learn some morse code and stop ignoring him.

and the gremlin said it wasn't him and if it keeps beeping hes moving out.

The one you pictured doesn't have it, but it should be right where I have circled in red... I know mine does for a fact have it, and it beeps at every post.... I never hooked up the case speaker cause I knew it had this speaker.
