I have been trying to solve this problem recently, on one of my older computers an amd k6-2 400mhz throughout random periods of the day, it will begin to make this loud beeping noise and will stay like that for minutes at a time. I thought it might of been the power supply, so i replaced that, but I am still experiencing the same problems, any suggestions?

If you hold down a key on the boardboard, after a few seconds it will emit a loud beep. If your keyboard is on the fritz it may be flooding the system with keypresses even if keys aren't pressed.
Unless you have some other sort of beeping warning system in your PC, it's a good a guess as any, given the amount of information you have provided.

Is the beep coming from the soundcard or the actual pc itself?
Does anything seem to cause it? Are you typing at the time? is it idle? Have you just finished playing a game?
And I also would of said keyboard.
Only the truly stupid believe they know everything.

Loudest beeps system problems
Your sure it's not temp related. might need a cleaning, possibly upgrade your thermal pad or grease make sure all fans are clean (can of compressed air?)
Is the fan mounted on the cpu a 2 wire or 3 wire... if 3 wire ck bios and see what the thermal output is.
3nd to Last of all, does your new PSupply draw from the bottom or the back?
2nd to the Last of all, boot into the bios load the fail safe defaults
and Last of all what OS are you using and if you can find the task manager verify under the perfomance tab that the CPU isn't spiked to 100% (virus or incompatable (sp) programs) I'm sorry I lied ck your RAM ... mem or temps would be my first ck on older box
GOOD Luck
