There is a small internal speaker connected to the motherboard via a small cable. You will need to unhook this.
IMO you shouldn't do this, as the single beep is actually present as an indicator that the initial hardware checks have been successful, and the system is safe to boot. If the computer produces an internal fault, the computer will not boot and the speaker will emit a 'beep code', a series of beeps quite like morse code, which tells an engineer the problem.
All PCs have boot noises, x86 systems with BIOS beep codes, Apple Macs with boot noise/chimes of death etc. they are not really for any enjoyment, but an important tool for when a system goes critically wrong.
Chimes of death? It sounds like something out of the Exorcist.
go to my page http://hollins1.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk for a mac boot crash... oh and turn the spound up loud, as the mac always emits "chimes of death" at full volume on internal speakers
What I find seems louder early in the morning with a beep every day!!.
Thanks for all the replys not worth the effect to unplug the lead then to me if you user every day have the rights to turn off any sound or beeps?!.
I hope microsoft at some stage will get rid of this beep sound have a button on the back of the machine for on or off!!!!.
The beep in in the motherboards bios, and has nothing to do with Microsoft.
Just out of intrest how would you know this will they be different beeps?.
Yes - you'll often find the beep codes in your motherboards handbook.
Some of them can be quite instructive.
A single beep usually means "all's well". Others may have gaps - such as beep beep space beep.
Incidentally the reason mine got unplugged was that everytime I tried to sneak the computer on without my little boy annoying me he would hear the beep and come running over. Now he's got clever and hears the fan but best not to disable that
It isn't the most reliable thing mind. Normally she says the computer has passed tests and that it is now booting from operating system, but every now and again she claims that the system has failed due to CPU overclocking (even though it cleary hasn't as it happily boots into windows and there is no problem whatsoever).
Better than the random beeps though as you don't need to know the various combinations.
Not sure if you are serious but what does this have to do with Microsoft? They don't make motherboards/BIOS's as far as I know.
