[QUOTE="waru, post: 1046576, member: 153033"] Lately it's not doing the beeping. But, when I try to wake it up from sleep, it stays black and wont wake up, which it used to do before starting to beep. But now, I turn it off and back on, and, without beeping, it fades into where I left off from a white screen with bars slowly filling, rather than starting up from scratch. This is all what it usually does before and after the beeping, only now no beeping. But just now the scariest thing ever happened. I heard the strange sounds of mechanical parts moving, so I walked over to my laptop. It started making the sound of a buzzer (EEE, EEE, EEE, EEE) with rapid high pitched beeps at the SAME time. And the screen was frozen and flashing crazy colors. I didn't know the laptop could make so many noises. Why would they even make that possible? It sounded like a bomb was about to go off. I turned it all off and turned it back on. It started up from scratch no problem... Still haven't heard the beeps again so I can't count them. [/QUOTE]
