Random BIOS style beep while under windows. Help please!

Hello, I have a laptop Dell precision M6800 that randomly makes one style of short BIOS beep then in windows 8.1 during normal operation does not when starting.

The sound system is disabled so the beep is not windows. The beep occurs also through the speakers when I have my headphones plugged in so I think it's actually the motherboard speaker, making the beeps.

I checked the windows event log, but no errors or warnings are connected at the same time when the beep occurs. The laptop works fine no glitching or error notifications during the beep, but it gets boring after a while and I'm worried that it might indicate a problem with the hardware.

The beep occurs sometimes seconds apart, other times the minutes to hours apart, and some days, not very often, it can go from boot to close (over 12 hours) without any beeps.

Any ideas on what could be the cause?

Hello

  • HP 6710 b upgrading the BIOS to version F.20. Help!

    Hello

    I have updated the bios on HP 6710 b problems. The reason why I'm trying to update is the noise of the fan, it is incredibly strong. I cleaned the fan and the heatsink off dust recently. This is on a fresh install of XP Professional equipped with drivers.

    My HP 6710 b runs on bios F.04 dated dated 02/04/2007, which is quite old. There are updates several of this last being dated F.20 from 01/12/2011.

    The problem is that trying to upgrade to F.20 an error occurs, saying "this update requires version rom F.10 or above" via USB thumbdrive.

    Update to F.10 requires SSM.

    Here are the following installation instructions for F.10:

    NOTE: For flashing the BIOS OF THE system on a notebook of target in
    a network, the system BIOS image must be used with SSM.

    1. download the SoftPaq. EXE file in a directory
    on your hard drive.

    2 copy the SoftPaq in storing files.

    To my knowledge, this means the newest SoftPaq download available and selecting the bios update via the software in question. However, SoftPaq does not show a bios update available.

    How to upgrade my HP 6710 b to bios version F.20 successfully? Help, please!

    I found a solution. All you have to do is to download BIOS F.10 sp38259.exe ! Do not download the sp38258.exe version!

    Version of BIOS F.10 sp38259 automatic installation

    After this update there is no problem to install the F.20 version.

  • Tecra A8-185 - the update of the BIOS under Windows 7?

    Hi again,

    I have a question how update of the BIOS under Windows 7 ultimate x 64. I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS for my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A8-185 PTA83E). After having unpacked there is only the .exe file.

    When I try to run this file, he said, that my OS is not supported. When I run it in compatibility mode (with Vista or XP), it starts the upgrade, but gives me an error: "the BIOS upgrade is failure (8). BIOS is not able on this configuration. "What should I do? I really need a new BIOS.

    Can I run it at the start of the USB key, or whatever?

    Hi offi55

    Why do you need a new BIOS? You may notice some problems with the laptop or why are you trying to update?

    However, I think that the update should only be done on the pre-installed Windows version (XP or Vista). I guess that this update n t tested and designed to update Windows 7 so I think that would be the reason why you can t.

    So to install Windows from the Toshiba Recovery disk and try to update again. It should work.
