Random beep

[missyburd]

...from my laptop? I was viewing my homepage on facebook (don't know if it had owt to do with that, doubt it) and I went to click on something and my laptop uttered a loud-ish BEEP.

Nothing came up on the screen, everything still as normal...any reason as to why it happened? :confused:

[DarrenSV650S]

You leaned on the keys?

[missyburd]

Nope. It's not done it before.

[Wideboy]

it means self destruction mode has been activated

Computer is giving you a reproving beep for viewing crap

[missyburd]

lol indeed. Crap it is and crap it shall stay :smt003

[dizzyblonde]

mine does that occasionally...its when you think faster than the laptop, and are pressing things on internet too quick. It get stuck for a split second goes beep and then carrieson as normal


hasn't happened in a while

[missyburd]

Hmmm I'm always doing that though and not heard it beep before, perhaps it had just had enough :lol:

[Wideboy]

is it a acer?

mines always playing up

[missyburd]

no a Dell. And usually quite good. It's a bit slow at the minute, needs more RAM lol.

I guess the beep isn't much of a deal, I'm just intrigued as to why it did it, scares me a bit lol.

Did you have the laptop sitting on a bed or something that could cover up the vents and make it overheat?

[missyburd]

nope its on the desk. I always make sure to put it on a large hardback book if I'm using it on the bed or on my lap, I know they can overheat easy.

Cheers for the replies guys.

[missyburd]

watching pronz?

[Wideboy]

It could be that an advert on facebook using flash played a beep through your speakers.

It could be that Windows sound events had been changed somehow to beep on click of certain objects (Vista does it by default on menu clicks).

It could be hackers attacking the laptop & it gave you a "silent alarm beep." :rolleyes: (Figured I'd better put the smiley so you don't get paranoid).

To be honest though, without hearing it, it's hard to tell.

[Wideboy]

describe the sound, your good at that

[DarrenSV650S]

Maybe you just burped in a high pitch

[missyburd]

that could be likely, but again I've not heard it before, not even on facebook.

Beeeeeeeep! ;) Tbh it was a pretty standard beep as beeps go. I'd say a second long?

Maybe you just burped in a high pitch

Nope if I bother to burp I do it properly, you'd know about it :D

[Wideboy]

It's telling you that you've exceeded your limit of personal nude photos and need to dump some of them via email to me.

did you just pull out in front of someone?

if its a screechy beep.. it may be your hard drive bearings about to give up the ghost... back up all your important data onto DVD or CD...... NOW

if it's a systems beep might be your power supply is unplugged/loose and your battery is getting low.

or system is telling you its getting a bit hot.. check that your fan is not full of dust.

:shock: well I wouldn't say it was screechy, it definitely wasn't unplugged, it's usually wired up to mains regardless the last one is the most likely but I wouldn't want to go near the fan, don't know how :( :oops:

Just to repeat, I've not heard this beep before which makes me think it might be something up with it, but then the screen didn't freeze, no programmes shut down, everything carried on as normal :confused:

I could really do without it packing up on me, this time of year is not good, lots of assignments and revision to do :-(

[dizzyblonde]

I think you have a bad case of this

and should forget about it ;-)

jump to about 2:50

[missyburd]

nope my laptop wasn't singing to me, twas definitely a beep :rolleyes:

[startrek.steve]

Porn Alert....

[missyburd]

On facebook? Not likely in my case :p

[Mr Speirs]

The laptop was probably just bored and fancied a chat. Unfortunately you didn't understand him. A little beep is the laptops way of saying hello. You just have to say Hello back and ask if its alright.
It makes it feel loved and it is content and just goes back to number crunching.

Its computer programming logistics and binary pshycology 101. :)

[missyburd]

you alright Mr Speirs? Perhaps you should go lie down somewhere :p

[Mr Speirs]

Beep

[missyburd]

It just did it again!!!! I was on facebook again, am seeing a trend here.... ;)

[hovis]

It just did it again!!!! I was on facebook again, am seeing a trend here.... ;)

its a message;)

[missyburd]

its a message;)

Yes a message from the gods telling me to get the feck off such a wasteful site and reading statuses, like your one about bananas :D

[Dave20046]

battery?

[missyburd]

Nah, been said that one, I usually have it plugged into the mains. Cheers for the reply though :)

[Mr Speirs]

Beep

[slark01]

was you doing the exact same thing on facebook as before?
Any new adverts?
Does it do it on anything else?
Basically if it Beeps only on facebook then it's something todo with that.
PS - not read all the posts so sorry if the questions have been asked.

[Wideboy]

it means you don't have any cool friends, you need to add me cool people like me :D

[missyburd]

I thought we were already facebooked?

slark, I don't read adverts but yes it's only happened twice both times on facebook so am not worrying about it too much. Assuming the ads aren't causing me laptop harm that is. Daft thing.

[Wideboy]

so i am:)

[missyburd]

Oh dear it happened just now while I was on the .org not facebook! Am thinking tis the net in general causing it? Tis bugging me now... Perhaps my laptop is protesting and getting grumpy, it is getting on now :-(

[Mr Speirs]

Beep

[missyburd]

Beep
Gah there it goes again! :p

[Grinch]

Maybe its the porn alert?

[missyburd]

Maybe its the porn alert?
Hmmmmm yes maybe you're right!










Or NOT :p
