It sounds like the normal POST beep, however it happens after the system has been online for some time. This morning when I posted about those two beeps out of nowhere, the system was already up for about 30 minutes in Linux.

But I am looking in /var/log/messages now and I think there may have been something that made it beep...

Code:
Feb  2 09:48:59 area51 wall[10189]: wall: user root broadcasted 1 lines (50 chars)
Feb  2 09:49:00 area51 (rich-9441): GConf server is not in use, shutting down.
Feb  2 09:49:00 area51 (rich-9441): Exiting
Feb  2 09:49:49 area51 wall[11095]: wall: user root broadcasted 1 lines (29 chars)


The two wall commands there would have beeped and are almost 1 minutes apart like I mentioned before. What caused it? I have no idea as only my normal apps were running with no errors or anything. I thought I disabled the pcspkr driver in the kernel, but maybe I set it in-kernel instead of module instead. Oh well... Atleast that explains that, BUT...I still have yet to figure out why it does the same thing in Windows on occasion. But I'll save that for another day.

And the drives' SMART is all clean. I run smartd to notify me of any problems plus I check manually every so often Smile.
