RE: Dell Dimension 8400 Beep Code Issue - chriscbd_19 - 01-03-2015 My pc beeps after hitting the desktop and I searched the beep code but I didn't get anywhere so I figured I can run some tests. I used check it professional and a test that's located on a recent copy of UBCD. I did a fresh install of Windows Vista with a clean install disk and I noticed when I'd open my documents folder how the Window would show the frame but where you should see documents I just seen my desktop background.
