Hey guys. Recently the system in my sig has begun to ring the system alarm bell on occasion. It has happened two or three times, and none have been while playing games or anything else heat intensive. My first thought was that the box was overheating, but after a quick (immediate) shutdown and reboot, I checked the bios and the CPU temp was in the 50s, which is more or less normal for this box. My CPU fan is on a fan controller with a temp probe attached to my heatsink, and is spinning at a normal setting.

Any idea what this could be? I don't like it when a system starts beeping out of nowhere, but I don't see any signs of overheating. My bios doesn't even have a heat-alarm threshold setting that I can see.
 
Look in the BIOS setup and see if there is a CPU overtemp alarm setting. You should be able to raise the threshold temperature or turn it off completely. On PCs with Award BIOS it is on the PC Health menu.
