how do i stop my computer from beeping
 

Just got a new computer and it keeps beeping from inside the box when theres an error. Is there a way to disable these beeps via control panel or bios so I don't have to open the box and unplug the speaker?

there's a 'beep on error' option.

;)

there definitely is a setting for external speaker ...but i have to hut around to find it ... I'm sure someone will have it before i find it ..

where? 8

restart

hit delete until you get into the cmos

poke around

I don't think unplugging the speaker would help. Most mobo's come with a small built-in speaker.

yah thats the speaker im talking about, i usually unplug it but this system is new and i havent opened the box yet so if theres a way around it all the better

You have to water it. It beeps because it needs to be watered, kind of link a flower.

Just kidding, I think a beeping can mean many things. Check your fans and make sure they are still working fine? my computer peeps when the CPU gets too hot? or did once :)

Have you disabled all sounds in windows? That's the first thing I do after a fresh install.

I know this may be a strange concept but...

Why not find out what the actual error is and fix it?

Im pretty sure if you fix it, the beeping will stop too, as if by magic :Graucho

Riiiiiight...

like that's ever worked before.

lol, why not fix the actual errors?

Try:

control panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Sounds(tab) and select "No Sounds"

This will stop most sounds but not all.

Every bios is different ... you'll have to find it in yours.

Give the box a good hard smack on top of it until it stops

I would do the very same thing that I do when some putz is telling me a lot of bullshit I am not interested in:
I turn off my hearing aid.
and all is well.

Its beeping when I try to press the backspace button when theres nothing to delete or the copy code when theres nothing to copy lol. I took care of it in bios, thanks :)

20 lb sledgehammer, use it, for about an hour on ur box

unplug the little speaker inside, nothing else helps
I got three new PCs in the past few months, disabled all the Windows sounds yet every time that beeps comes back

I hate when the computer beeps when it starting up.

take out the speaker in your box - no more beeping and/or turn it off
