Every 60,00 secs, around the clock, my puter speakers make a 4-secs sequence of four distinct noises, sounding like, in vain, trying to start an old car engine. These noices must be caused by an external source. I have no wireless routers or suchlike.

Playing a burned CD on my puter CD-player I heard a superimposed, 4-secs sequence of four distinct noises, repeated at intervals of exactly 60 secs, sounding like I was trying to start a very old car engine. Now this noice is playing itself ever since.

Recently the fan in the tower of my pc is running harder(louder) especially when playing an internet game and dubbing photos on Adobe photoshop. I noticed a buildup of dust around the fan. Would this cause the fan to run harder?

My PC has recently decided to act up. If it actually starts up, after a few minutes the screen goes blank, it beeps at me 5 times, and the HDD light stays on. Sometimes, at startup, it just beeps 5 times and the HDD goes on continuously.
