Is there any reason a computer would just randomly beep? I was just loading a page and the internal speaker beeped. No warning messages or anything. The only reason I can think of that it would do that is if it were overheating, but I already know this doesn't give any warning (just reboots).

Dunno why it does that, but I know mine does it sometimes. Especialy when it's acting slow.

Damn that was fast!

Yes, mine is running quite slow at the moment, since I'm using Mozilla while Photoshop is open. (Not very easy on one's CPU, or RAM for that matter. ) Lotta lag involved.

My computer beeped weirdly when we installed the very first things on it.

I just though: "What the heck? " Dunno what it was, though.

No sound card drivers on it yet. It beeps instead.

One time, my newer computer went BEEBEEBEEBEEBEEetc. while it was shutting down...I still don't know why, and it hasn't happened again. It tends to do strange things sometimes.

As for my older computer, it could be beeping right now, but I'll never know--the speaker hasn't been hooked up for a long time.

I have my beep disabled. Nothing bad has happened as a result of it, so I don't see a point in having it on.

Uh? IIRC, most beeps are generated by a small on-board speaker on the motherboard. Which is why they still work if you don't have any sound card drivers (which makes it unable to send anything to the speakers).

Some computers can even play music through those. It drove my teacher crazy in computer class, because he couldn't just take the speakers.

One time in school we had some Macs in the back, and one just started beeping like crazy for no apparent reason. Nobody could tell why.

I've never owned a motherboard with a built-in speaker...they've all had the standard jumper-style connector that plugs into a speaker in the case. Most pre-built computers probably have the little built-in "buzzers."

Check you RAM, if the RAM is defect the computer begins to beep, but then it wouldn't start Windows. I only can imagine that one of your deivecs is defect and has to be repaired or should be changed.
But it can be a virus!
Check your system.
