When I start up my computer, just before it goes to
windows I get the error sound (no message). Gateway
dosen't seem to know what it is or really dosen't care
what the problemis. Could somebody please tell me what
this could be.
 
You can try checking the error log:
Open Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, open Even Viewer, look for
errors that correspond to when this issue occurs, double click the error,
the information contained within may give a clue as to the source of the
issue.

Do you happen to have a Logitech Web Cam with built in mic connected to your
system. If yes, that is almost certainly the cause and as far as I know
there is no fix. There is some conflict between the Logitech drivers and
some soundcards, in my case it's SoundBlaster card only my system makes the
sound on closing.

I've found several references to this issue on many Logitech boards all over
the Internet. In my case, it's know it's the Logitech driver including the
latest iteration as my system doesn't make that sound until I install the
software for the camera.
