    Double click on the entry in Event Viewer to open it - click on the icon below the up/down arrows to paste to the Clipboard and post it here

    High frequency beeps from the BIOS when the system is working indicates CPU overheated or System running at a lower frequency.

    Some boards have CPU overheating protection and shut down if the CPU overheats. I would guess if 'Automatically Restart on System Error' is checked then the m/c would reboot.

    Moving this to Hardware - OS is XP

    alarm

    I opened the event wiewer doubled clicked on the error event and a window with a hyperlink appeared, clicked on hyperlink and got this result from the microsoft help:

    Details
    Product: Windows Operating System
    ID: 1003
    Source: System Error
    Version: 5.2
    Symbolic Name: ER_KRNLCRASH_LOG
    Message: Error code %1, parameter1 %2, parameter2 %3, parameter3 %4, parameter4 %5.

    Explanation
    A blue screen (Stop error) was reported. The message contains details about the error. A matching event with Event ID 1001 might also appear in the event log. This matching event displays information about the specific error that occurred.


    User Action
    No user action is required.


    It is not the system error that worried me it was that hi pitch repetitive beep that sounded from the desktop speakers not from the one in the case, well it does not seem to be a problem now because the computer is working good. Thank you for your prompt reply it is very supportive for us beginners. I have recommended this site to all my friends, it is very helpful ,regards
