Marfitalu: I don't have any books on it. It was a computer that was given to me by someone that upgraded theirs. I was told it was working, and it seems to be...except for the beeping. The pc is several years old and has windows 98 and a pentium 3 processer. All of the lights and buttons seem to be working, I'm not having any trouble with windows or with accessing the web.

The beeping seems to be in two tones, both for the same amount of time. They are short beeps. It must be some sort of alarm, but I can't figure out what it is...or where to turn it off or reset it.

I don't know what the BIO is, but I do know that when the first screen comes up fast when you turn it on. It looks like it is checking the systems. It does say to push DEL to get information, which I'll try next time I have a few minutes.

At the moment, I'm on webtv. It's been a very busy week here, and I really haven't had much time to mess with it.
