UNSOLVED
Random beeping
I just got my refurbished XPS 410 a few days ago, and I've loved it so far. However, tonight was the first time I've given it any heavy usage, and it's started beeping randomly. I have been doing continual file transfers from another PC to the new computer for the past couple of hours. While doing this, I was simultaneously installing new programs on the new computer.
Several times in the the past 10 minutes, the built-in PC speaker has issued a series of beeps. They've been a different # of beeps in the sequence each time, and I haven't rebooted at all, so they're not "POST" beeps. Any ideas if this is a warning sign that something isn't right? What should I do to keep it from beeping? Should I file an official support claim if this is an indicator of something more serious?

During these beeps, check the 1234 Diagnostic Lights. if they are off, that is good.
