[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 865920, member: 24098"] The beeps you're hearing (assuming they're not coming from the drive mechanism itself, which is situated on the opposite side of the optical drive) are likely as the result of a failed Power On Self Test (POST). In my experience, this is usually caused by bad or poor quality memory modules. The first thing I would do would be to reseat the memory modules. If the problems persist, replace them altogether with high quality memory from a respected vendor (Crucial, Kingston, OWC, etc). If the sounds are coming from the drive mechanism, it may be a mechanical failure that is intermittent (it happens, but it's not terribly common). And in that case, I would refer back to the tech that installed the drive. Seagate drives typically carry a 5 year warranty. [/QUOTE]
