Beeping computer

Asus a8r32-mvp deluxe MB, folding machine that runs 24/7

2 gpus:
GTX 460
GT 560

Had a power outage a few weeks ago and it starting beeping sometimes, anywhere from every 45 seconds, 5 minutes, 12 hours.

Seemingly random, when it beeps it'll beep often, then go 12-24 hours without making a noise.

Posts fine, boots fine, XP Pro.

Any suggestions appreciated, doesn't seem to be be temperature related.

Thanks

I'd start by checking memory...reseating...if multiple sticks try removing one at a time to troubleshoot.
Look for bulging caps
Try removing a GPU....

Also Monitor the temps, Mobo, CPU, Drives and GPU

Could it be the on-board speaker got fried?

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Trying to find the time to deal with it.

HDD seems to be fine, last time I checked video temps they were good but ever since installing a second gpu I get nvp_display errors whenever I run gpu-z or other gpu software.

Have researched it to death and no one agrees on anything short of a driver issue. Have tried several different versions of drivers and nothing has helped so far.

The motherboard battery should still be good, only a couple years old, but it's on my list as a quick thing to replace anyways.

What's odd is it goes days without making a noise, but wakes me out of the blue around 5AM every so often. Pisses me off
