help, can't get rid of random system-beep
I've got a very annoying system beep :emotion-39: I can't get rid of. I've tried everything I could think of, see list below. If you have any other ideas, please let me know. I want to stop the beep!
System: studio 1557 core i7 720qm 4Gb ram, 90W power supply, 9cell battery, windows7
already tried:
- deactivated beep in "device manager" under "hidden devices" => no
- deactivated all sounds and turned off speakers => changes volume of beep, but still there
- deactivated system-beep in (of course updated) Bios => nothing changed
- unplugged all usb and other devices => still beeps
- unplugged power, running on battery only => it's so frustrating, the beep won't go!
- taken out RAM and put them back in => Beep :emotion-12:
only problem I can think of:
- wrong power plug, maybe I should order the 130W one?
- power is unsufficient for core i7
- something wrong with windows 7
beeps come up randomly every 1-10min even when system in idle, sometimes 2 beeps in a row, but most often just a single one :emotion-12: beep
Anyone got an idea?

Omg i have the same laptop and same problem (although i think my beep is only 1 short beep)
havent tried to send it back because i know they wont fix it...
read up on the beep code apprerently its a "bios sumcheck error". No idea what it means tho..........
well since i can't see any fix in the near future i just have to get used to it ... sigh

Beep now gone!
I just got a new laptop to replace the one that beeped all the time. The new laptop is a studio 1558 (same as 1557 but with better graphic card). The issue with freezing screen while watching full screen 1080p videos in Youtube was still there, but can easily be fixed by deactivating "hardware acceleration" in adobe flash.
good luck!
