A Note from One Who Has Nearly Lost His Mind!

This is a discussion about A Note from One Who Has Nearly Lost His Mind! in the Everything New Technology category; Since installing SP2, my machine goes into periods of making a sound similar to a chimpanzee trying to tune a xylophone. I was advised to turn of automatic updates, which I have. Still that chimp is in there somewhere, swinging his frigging xylophone stick.

Any ideas?

I use Kaspersky anit-virus software (amongst others) and when it 'notices' something be it a virus or just a corrupted files etc. it makes an extremely loud pig squeal sound to get my attention. Since having installed SP2 it does this most days now, however it is getting less frequent as I fix more and more problems.
 
Perhaps your problem is similar to this? If not just ignore this post..... 8)

TRy looking in the Sounds and Audio Devices control panel, click on Sounds and see if any particular event causes this sound.
