Windows 10: Series of 4 to 10 Beeps Every 5 minutes in Computer Box

A series of 4 to 10 beeps is occurring about 5 minutes apart in my computer box. Ran a diagnostic and according to the results everything checks fine. Any idea what's causing this? TIA

Beeping Sounds on Startup

Upon startup of my Windows 10 All-in-One I hear a series of beeps. It starts with 4 beeps with an interval of about 3 seconds in between each beep. Then it is followed by 4 similar beeps which are a bit shorter and have an interval of about 1 second each.
This action repeats about 3-5 times, and then my computer starts up normally again. This sometimes happens, and sometimes doesn't but it has happened before, but not as long as it is happening now. Even when I opened my computer 10 minutes ago, it was beeping.
I heard it had something to do with the hardware, but I'm not really sure. Any ideas? Thanks!

 

death caused by handy

it is a new one.

it beeps every i think 5 minutes if i missed a call. this is i think a very good feature, but it helps nothing when the caller spoke on my mailbox cause then i would just recieve a sms that someone spoke on it. and thats just one single beep. so mybe a godd
idea would be that it would also beep every 5 minutes or so.

 

Does your Dell show a prompt on the black screen about booting choices? Usually there will be a memory test, suggest you run it. If not possible use memtest86+, downloadable and run within Windows.

 

Ran the HP diagnostics and everything passed. What could be doing this? Thanks for your response. Anyone else have any ideas? Also ran a virus scan but nothing found. TIA

 

Didn't know you have an HP, your My Computer shows a Dell.

 

My bad. It is Dell 8300 xps. Thanks

 

Restart computer and press F12, run Diagnostics.

If it tests fine, open case and pinpoint where the sound is coming from. If it is coming from the HDD, it may be failing.

 

sounds like a video card is faulty..if you get 4 beeps on boot up then it's the video card that is the problem.

 

You can test your Ram with Windows 10

In RUN (Win Key + R) type mdsched.exe press Enter and you will see >

Cooling fans are clean but the cpu ribs (right below the fan) had accumulated some lint cause I have ignored it during cleaning. All is good now. Thanks for all of those who responded.
