Hi guys, need a bit of help with my computer.
Basically it's just started acting up in the past 24 hours, last night it crashed just after connecting my camera to the USB port, giving an error message "Hardware Failure Contact the manufacturer" or something very similar, on a blue screen.
I restarted the computer, and it's been fine again until now, when it's started emitting a seemingly random beeping sound, this has happened 4 times, twice randomly, once when opening the CD Drive slot, and also once when it was starting up.
It's a high pitched beep with 4 noticeable beats, it goes like "beep beep beeeep beep".
The computer is running perfectly normally otherwise.
Any ideas, are my problems linked?
I'm running Windows XP SP3 on a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo.
