P4B533 Headaches

P4 2.4 w/ 9800P ran fine for year or so then began locking up.

Wiped drive with zeroes, reinstalled XP + Intel drivers and Now get funny beeps during cold boot. Random beeps, some high pitch some low.... Is it dumpster time?

Sounds like another capacitor problem to me.

System still stable, but get funny boot sounds. If machine is warm, no problem at boot?

This thing is CRAZY!!!
