SUMMARY
During normal operation or in Safe mode, your computer may play "Fur
Elise" or "It's a Small, Small World" seemingly at random. This is
an indication sent to the PC speaker from the computer's BIOS that
the CPU fan is failing or has failed, or that the power supply voltages
have drifted out of tolerance. This is a design feature of a detection
circuit and system BIOSes developed by Award/Unicore from 1997 on.
Although these symptoms may appear to be virus-like, they are the
result of an electronic hardware monitoring component of the motherboard
and BIOS. You may want to have your computer checked or serviced.
