Random beeps coming from windows 10???

[Ian_89]

I built my pc about a year ago and haven't had any problems until now. These beeps first started when i was loading up Doom 4 and i heard a beep. I didn't know what it was, but i originally thought it was some sort of message notification. I checked and it wasn't. Then, the beeps started to come more and more and they come when no applications were open. Again, these beeps are completely random. I have already tried the simple stuff like restarting my computer and making sure it wasn't just my headphones by using different speakers and getting the same result. it almost seems like there won't be any beeps for about 5 minutes but then about 10 -20 beeps come in a period of about 30 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Are the beeps the ones that Windows makes when there's a notification? It sounds like your OS isn't agreeing with something in your PC. Open up Event Viewer from your control panel and see what's in the logs.

Ok... I see what your are saying but I have never used event viewer before so could you tell me what I should be looking for?

I couldn't tell you exactly what to look for as I don't know what the issue is. However, when you hear the beeps just stop doing whatever you're doing, open event viewer, and look for repeated events. Google the event code and see what it tells you.
If I had to guess then I would say something isn't agreeing with your firewall and it's continuously being blocked.

So far I haven't found any repeated events that occur every time I hear a beep.
