doest the beeping start when you power on or when windows loads?
if it`s windows it could be a lot of things...backup any important data and then reinstall windows with a full format.

If it beeps at power on check bios settings

Personally, i'd have the keyboard looked at. A stuck key (especially a non-alphanumeric one like shift, ctrl, alt, the arrow keys, etc) can do some really weird things -- among other notable symptoms, it can cause the constant beeping and make other keys act like they don't work.

First thing i'd suggest, is that you try pressing each key on the keyboard. A stuck key will often look like it's halfway down, be a bit mushier, or not "click" the same way the others do. If you find a key like that, try pulling up *gently* on the edges of the key (don't pull the key off! they can be a pain to put back on, depending on the keyboard). Often that's all i've needed to do to get a keyboard working semi decently again.

A note, though...if a key is stuck now, it's likely to get stuck again. Once it's unstuck, you may want to avoid using the key if you can. If it was one of your ctrl keys, for instance, try to remember to use the other one til you get a replacement keyboard on ebay or something.
