Long non-stopping beep on startup? I recently built a PC and it worked fine for almost a week now, but I booted it up after work and I got an ear deafening post beep. It stopped after windows loaded and I plugged in my headset, but now does it every time I boot. Just wondering what the issue could be?

(On windows 8 if it means anything)

Two pages to look at that might provide answers:

In this user's case, one of his keys was stuck and that caused the beep. May or may not be related to your issue

A Microsoft rep provides a few possible causes, as well as steps to turn off the system sounds. The user isolated the problem himself as a hardware related issue.
