I get this in Battlefield2, and i've heard of others getting it in other games. I'm talking about a beep from the PCs internal speaker. What does it actually mean? Is it something to do with overheating?

I'm using an Abit board if it helps...

Is it a P/S2 port (is that the right name?), round with many pins and a single squarish pin at the top? If so I think the motherboard beeps if you press more than 3 keys at once. This can be a pain in FPS for sure. I do not know if this affects USB keyboards as I have never used one.

One of my old machines used to beep on the internal speaker when the processor was starting to overheat.

In a CPU hungry game could this be the problem?
