A beep every minute on computer, how to stop it

I had a virus. Microsoft took control of my computer and me a scan of 10 hours.  Computer works fine now, except there is a beep every minute.  How can I stop it please.

Hi NuCarCarrier,
 
The system beeps are so important and it will indicate system errors and it will warn you against system damage. When the processor system or Random Access Memory (RAM) or hard drive is not working properly, it will give the alert system using the beep.
 
Therefore, I recommend you to check the good condition of functioning of your RAM and hard drive.
 
Change the Windows sound scheme has been defined as 'None'.
 
Follow these steps to do the same thing:
 
a. to open sounds and Audio devices, click Start, click Control Panel, click sounds, speech and Audio devicesand then click sounds and Audio devices.
b. on the tab sounds , in the program events list, select "No. sounds" under sound scheme, click on Save as.
(c) in the dialog box Save the scheme under , type a name for the new sound scheme.
 
The new scheme appears in the box sound scheme .
 
Check if you are still having the tone.

  • Vista icons in windows Explorer refreshes every minute or so, how fix?

    Every minute or so icons start refreshing in Explorer. I tried increasing the icon hidden in the registry, the removal of "IconChache.db", all to nothing is (apart from reinstalling my OS). Whenever the icons updated performance decreases significantly. I ran antivirus (Avast free with Microsoft Security Essentials) scans, everything came without any problem. On another note, Explorer sometimes crashes when opening an image.

    Get a backup full system, like - especially if you use a Mac Pro with 10.6.8 - then your material is more old enough to be at fault.

    Once you have a full backup and up-to-date...  More information is needed:

    What is the freezing of the entire or just computer screen background image?

    Start in Safe Mode and stop and restart normally and see if that clears the problem.

  • How to measure voltage every minute

    Hi all

    Currently, I'm new to labview and I'm taking steps of timed voltage.  Here's what I'm trying to do;

    I'm using labview 2010 and I am currently taking readings of temperature and moisture in sync with each other.  To measure the temperature, I'm using a cDaq mudule 9213, humiduty I am in using the voltage of the module 9234 and converting using the temperature and pressure of my moisture sensor.

    Now what I want to do is take the voltage and temperature say every minute or 30 seconds, but my buffer fills based on the readings of voltage and gives me an error or the table accepts the values of what im assuming is the buffer, one by one, rather than enter the data of the current module.

    My real question here is how to take measurements of voltage current every 30 seconds?

    Thanks for any advice.

  • How can I stop my Officejet Pro 8600 one beep every hour on the hour...

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 works very well but the hourly beep is very annoying.

    Hello The_Majar,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that your Officejet 8600 beeps every hour. I will do my best to help you! Please make sure that the printer is connected to a live wall, not a surge protector. I recommend this step, that the printer can not get enough power.

    Then, try to reset the printer for more information, then 60 seconds.

    Please post your results, I'll be looking forward to hear from you.

  • All few minutes my computer has an error

    All few minutes my computer has an error: plugin - container.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. -What it means and how to fix it?

    Maybe as Support engineer who is hired by Microsoft does not know this plugin - container.exe is part of Firefox and has nothing to do with Windows XP.

    You must be sure that you are on the latest version of Firefox (currently 11.0)

    You need to clear your cache/temporary Internet files.

    You must scan your system for malware.

    It could be that you have a distressed Firefox extension, so you should check for updates too.

    If the problem seems to occur regularly on any particular WWW site, this site could be afflicted in some way.

    You should then see if the problem persists and if so, display the full message, you see.

    No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    These comprehensive analyses can take some time, but you really need to run.  SAS will probably be just a bunch of Internet tracking cookies, but you can remove them.  Once you have done at least a full analysis, you can do quick scans in the future to save time and save the analyses complete for when you have more time or are really suspicious of an infection of the system.

    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    In 1985, there were 11 known computer viruses.  Today, there are over 70,000 and new threats are detected every day.  Always update your virus definitions before running a scan.
    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.
