Thanks all for the suggestions - I tend to believe that it isn't overheating
because I've been running it with the cover off.  And yes (damn, there goes
the beep again while I'm typing this), the fans are working.  It is cool in
here too, 69-75 degrees most of the time..   Hmmm....

Are there any other reasons why the motherboard might be trying to signal me
about something?  Maybe power?  Bad ground?  I'm running off of an APC UPS
though.  You'd think that would be clean.  The UPS warns me when power is
bad though.  We do have occasional brownouts here, but again, wouldn't that
UPS protect me from those?

Thanks,

Chris
