Robert, try cpuid-hwmonitor from my post in page 1.
hwmonitor give more comprehensive report, just try it first and give us a screenshot. from my experience, your pc beeb might came from cpu fan wich spin slowly (not enough rpm). if it is an overheating, lubricate the fan shaft sometimes solve the problem..

From theSEMAR's suggested software:

Beeping like the sounds it makes when powered on, or a different kind of beeping like Windows likes to make when hardware is connected and disconnected?
Beeps are standard as part of the self test at boot, but once the self test is complete, beeping as part of any hardware diagnostic or warning is a lot less common. Overheating after boot usually results in throttling or panic with no warning unless you have specifically installed software to monitor and alert you of these things. There are all kinds of reasons strange noises come from computers that can cause sounds like beeping: fan failure, hard drive impending doom, USB bus failure causing devices to randomly appear and disappear, ...

No codes, since the manual details them as happening in startup, where the ones I'm experiencing don't come from startups at all. The beeps are not loud and are intermittent to recall. They just happen in random times.

From Dell™ Dimension™ 3100/E310 Service Manual
Beep Codes Your computer might emit a series of beeps during start-up if the monitor cannot display errors or problems. This series of beeps, called a beep code, identifies a problem. One possible beep code (code 1-3-1) consists of one beep, a burst of three beeps, and then one beep. This beep code tells you that the computer encountered a memory problem. If your computer beeps during start-up:
I know it says start up, but the beeps would most likely still be indicative of one of the above 'failures'

Well, the last one just beeps once.
All right guys, I've prepared enough money to go Christmas shopping for one this Christmas. Thanks!

I know how you feel I've just had a tonne of bad luck myself. All kinds of problems to deal with as of late. I've managed to deal with a lot of these things now but it just has been so terrible and yes it was computer stuff but also other important things which I can't explain about. September 2020 for me has been tough it all started a few weeks ago. I did have one of those Dell machines a long time ago, I was given some money for nothing long long time ago and I bought a Dell Dimension and ran it for a while but eventually gave it up and gave to somebody else who I knew. Just hope you can get yourself maybe another machine at some point. I might be planning to build something else myself at some point but just waiting really until I can get the funds together it does take time to raise the money. Good luck and hopefully a new machine will be nice and you get a lot of usage from this new machine, there are some very nice pieces of hardware out there now, nice RAM and processors and all kinds of things, very fast some of them, just make sure you buy good bits and they should last you a long time.

Robert, make one screenshot again, but now expand items (click + sign) for mainboard and cpu. i want to know your dell mainboard temperature and cpu temperature, also fan speed (if supported by hwmonitor).

Holding down too many keys at once on some keyboards could cause a beep from the internal speaker on old computers.
maaaybe? Or was that a w95 thing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
