Well, if it's CONSTANTLY beeping it's a bit of a mystery, you should
take it to service. If it gives a specific number of beeps, it's
something very different. PCs are set to do so if a piece of hardware
is malfunctioning or not plugged in correctly. The number of beeps
will tell you which piece of hardware is the problem. I can only say
that 8 beeps mean the sound card. :)

Hope this helps ...
