Computer Beeping every 10 seconds
My computer beeps every 10 seconds while running, I assume it's a hardware error but I can't find anything wrong.
Could it be this imaginary fan it thinks I have working at -128C? Though it says the rpm of #3, the temperature is wrong.
EDIT: Fixed ;D

any pattern to the beeps? eg, two short beeps, or maybe a long beep?

Nope, same length everytime, actually faster than 10 seconds, it's every 3-4 seconds.
EDIT: Fixed it, took out the cd from the disk drive, shiny layer was flaking off so I guess my computer has been trying to read the disk over and over but failing, or my disk drive has died but the beeping stopped anyway.

Your cores are running at 12 and 14C? Do you use ice for your cooling?
Anyways, the -128C is a false reading.
As for the beeps, I can't find a bios beep code that matches your description.
Check if it doesn't come from an app you run in the background by checking the sound mixer (speaker symbol in the taskbar).

I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.

No Ice ;D Just a really cold room, I somehow have the coldest room in the house. Got a crappy gfx card but after I replace my mobo and put in my 5770 my cores might reach 30 xD.
Fixed my problem anyways, might try out another CD to check if it was just that one CD or my whole disk drive.

^ I had similar problems once when I was trying to get my computer to read a scraped (pretty badly) disc.
