Well at first to elininate some possibilities I would check for viruses and
malware and or spyware. Scan for viruses with your virus software. You may
want to consider trying out a program called Spybot. There is a free trial
at www.SpyWareBot.com/Spybot or AdAware at www.lavasoft.com this is
completely free
The syptoms you describe could be caused by malware. For information on
that google malware. There are a number of programs to clean up your system.
This may not resolve your issue but it will help you troubleshoot because
then you will know your sytem is clean and the integrity is OK. Besides a
technician will probably tell you to do these things to isolate the problem.

Take note of the beep(short,long,how many,in sequence, etc). Call you computer manufacturer and ask them for their beep codes. It will then tell you the issue that you are having. Most likely it is either the MOBO or HD.
