Title: BEEP

<Irockman1> What does it mean when your computer beeps three times
<Irockman1> Low medium HIGH
<Irockman1> Like that

I remember it doing it a long time ago, but I never figured out what it was.

Holding down too many buttons?

Or a bomb?

Too many buttons is a steady pitch.

I think it could be a problem with heating or your hard drive

Odd, Windows was randomly shut down yesterday due to a shitty driver. I didn't get to read all of it though, because my computer decided to reset before I got to see what driver it was. :\

Make sure all your drivers are up to date.  If they are, possibly consider installing an older version and see if that helps.

My computer was beeping at me yesterday, it turned out my keyboard came partially unplugged. XD

The keyboard worked fine, it would just beep sometimes when I was typing, and even when I did nothing.  That could be worth looking into I suppose.  Though, I'm probably the only one who plays with his keyboard cord with his feet. :P

The PC speaker? And it beeps while you're inside windows and everything, or beeps during startup?

Find out what make your BIOS is (if you have a non-shit PC, you'll see this info when you start it instead of it being hidden by a logo splash screen) and then google it with beep codes on the end or something. Or maybe this (http://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/post-beep-codes.htm).

You shouldn't ignore random beeps from your PC. A while ago my mother's started beeping a series of beeps which I later worked out meant bad RAM. By the time she got new RAM, the old stick had died =|
