My PC Speaker Squeeks after reboot.

External Since: Oct 14, 2006 Posts: 3

Has any one come across this Virus/Adware. Within a few minutes of
each reboot I hear a single squeek from my PC Speaker. It is a high
pitch sound, not like the error beeps emitted by the BIOS. Is this a
know virus/trogran, etc.?
Thank you,

Does the PC freeze when this occurs? If yes, then look on the web for 'Audigy
squeal of death" problem. It is a known problem with the Creative Lab's Sound
Blaster Audigy sound card and chipsets (usually on Dell motherboards.)

If not, then you need to check with your motherboard manual soon since this is
usually an 'alarm' which would indicate a hardware failure (usually an
over-heating system!)
