Likely you have a heat problem.\nor it could be a fan rotation warning, some motherboards can alarm you if fan speed drops below a set level....\n\nPay attention to it regardless, and have someone look at it !

take the battery off of the motherboard and leave it off overnight, or use the password jumper on the motherboard if it has one.

turn it back on... use the power button and it will "wake up" and turn back on.\n\nIf you are having problems, like it is getting stuck while waking up, turn it on, then hold down the power button until it turns back off again... and then turn on the computer (it will reboot).

its either detecting a virus which is deliberately setting this off or your system is over cooking running the virus scanner...\n\nyour pc DOES meet the system requirements doesn't it?\n\nbecause virus scanners are very system heavy especially when actively scanning...\n\nif not, ensure when running the scan that you shut down all non essential programs (yahoo messenger, IE, msn etc etc..)\n\nfailing that, if it is a virus, start the pc up in safe mode (press F8 when you turn the pc on a few times) and from safe mode run the scan from there, safe mode will only open what programs are necessary to have a system operable...

If your alarm clock is digital and has an indicator light telling you that the alarm is active, it probably will but the difference probably wouldn't be noticable.

It will do this if the computer is not properly shut down. Let it go into safe mode, and use the start>shutdown function from there. If it insists on going to safe mode and won't start any other way (after you pick normal start) then there is a big problem and you may have to reinstall windows.

There are several triggers that can 'wake up' your computer.\n\nFirst check your Bios (during startup). Under power options (or something like that) you find several of those. If Bios settings change all by themselves, it is time to replace the battery on the motherboard...\n\nThen in Windows Control Panel you have 'Power Options'. Check if one of those wakeup calls are enabled.

What your computer starts up, it does a POST (Power-On Self-Test). It is normal for a computer to have 1 beep. Multiple tells you that something is wrong with the system.  You didn't specify how many beeps there was or length thereof. \n\nA steady short beeps says Power Supply may be bad. \nLong continuous beep tone says Power Supply is bad or not plugged into board correctly.\nSteady, long beeps says Power Supply is Bad\nGriding noises that is outside normal cpu processing may suggest a CPU fan problem.\n\nIf it is the power supply issue, you need to replace it. This can be tricky because small computer (2 cdrom bays) requires Micro ATX Power Supply. Midtower (Has 3 CD bays in front) can fit ATX power supply.\n\nIf Griding noises from cpu fan, just goto local computer store and tell them what processor you have. Rep can probably help you. And they are a easy to install.\n\n\nYour aim problem may suggest a virus or hacker.  I recommend getting BitDefender Anti-Virus. And download their CD recovery iso. It uses BitDefender for Linux and boots.

I worked for an Alarm comp for a long time. The silent alarm works like this.. once the button is pressed an emergency/distress signal is received at your Central Station Monitoring Company-they in turn contact the PD immediately and the PD is dispatched. Your total turnaround time (hopefully you have a good central station monitoring co) is no more than 2-6 minutes!

It depends on your computer. Many modern PCs can do this through the BIOS setup. The details depend on your PC. Usually you reboot the computer and you'll see something that says press <DEL> to enter setup. You might see a different key or you might have to consult your manual. Once you are in the BIOS set up, look for something marked RTC Alarm or Wake up on Time. Set the time and enable it, and you should be good to go. I used to have mine wake up at 0730 every morning so when I got to work, it was ready to go.

The computer performs a basic check on its systems, and beeps once if the test is successful.  If it fails this test, it will either not beep, or beep multiple times.  Counting the beeps can tell you what the problem is (if you have the manual).

I'm guessing by the sounds of it you have a dead CMOS battery. It's a little battery(looks like a watch battery) that keeps all that info like the system clock stored when you have the computer turned off. If that was to die you would be getting messages like this. I reccomend you replace it(if you know what you are doing) or bring it to a computer store and have them do it and it should fix the problem.

because the computer uses a little battery on your motherboard instead of the powersupply

The "stay" function is for when there is going to be someone moving around in the house.  It arms only the perimeter of the house.  Any entrance into the house (doors, windows) that has a sensor should set the alarm off if it is breached.\n\nIf you set your alarm to "stay" and you are able to open the door without triggering the alarm either that door doesn't have a sensor, or it is not operating correctly and will need to be serviced.
