The computer keeps beeping since I installed 8, and I don't know why
I mean sometimes its beeping like every 5-10 seconds, I see no notifications or reasons why it is doing it.

I am having the same problem.  I cannot find any reason anywhere why it keeps beeping.

I had this happening it was because my external hard drive kept disconnecting and reconnecting as it has a corrupt sector. So check all plugged in devices and ensure the are connected properly.

I had this happening it was because my external hard drive kept disconnecting and reconnecting as it has a corrupt sector. So check all plugged in devices and ensure the are connected properly.

This has me in the right direction.  In the Sounds I found the sound it is making is for the "Device Connect".  I just need to identify what keeps connecting over and over.  I don't have an external hard dive connected.  Worst case scenario I just disable any sound for "device connect".

Is there a way to find the last device that connected?


Update:

It just made the sound while I was in the device manager and the list refreshed but I can't tell which device is doing it.

Try disconnecting all your external devices, then plug them in one at a time and wait for the beep.  This should help you isolate what device is spawning the event.  Also, you might check your event viewer to see if connects and disconnects are listed.

Hi,

Sometimes it may be something as simple as one of the keys (on the keyboard) sticking.

I had a similar issue a couple of years ago, and was just my Right Shift key that was sticking erratically.

Well that is as unhelpful and useless of a suggestion as anyone has so far volunteered.

You were right; I had 2 usb printers connected to my usb hub; once I removed one of the printers from the hub and connected directly into a dedicated usb port on the back of the PC, I was able to:

1. Stop the beep

2. print successfully on both printers

Thanks guys.  Got a new windows 8  here and was having the same problem.  I noticed that the external hard drive had disconnected on it's own after reading this.  I guess it was trying to reconnect.  I unplugged it and the nose stopped.

I have isolated the device causing the problem (my iPhone, which was working just fine with this machine up until about an hour ago). However, as soon as I plug it back in, the incessant chiming starts again, and Windows still provides no assistance. How do I find out what the problem is? And am I the only one who finds it bizarre that -- in the age of usability testing -- Microsoft would introduce an "error message" that provides absolutely no information about the cause of the error? Windows has become like a crying baby -- it makes a lot of noise, but it can't tell you what the problem is. You have to change its diapers, give it a bottle, and put it down for a nap. If none of those things work, you might need to schedule a doctor's visit. And this is progress?
