Do you have curreny AV installed? have you used Adaware or Spybot?
Download and run drive manufacturers diagnostic. What makes you think the
CMOS battery is wearing out? If system loses time while switched on, is not
CMOS battery, is software problem.

Make sure you have disk space for a swap file.At least 350mb.You must run
defrag in safe mode(press F8 at startup) or use control-alt-delete to end
all programs except explorer and systray before running defrag.Background
programs cause defrag and scandisk to start over.I'm not sure about the batt
problem or the beep but try reinstalling your sound card drivers.
