Vista - Beeping computer while using Keyboard

While typing, my computer unit makes a single bleep (not from my speakers)
sound every so often, and for whichever key i have last pressed it is as if
it is being held down. For example if I had last pressed d it would come out
as ddddddddddddddddd... etc. This is not a problem with my specific keyboard
as I have tried with various ones (2 logitechs and a Trust keyboard). I am
using a brand new pc with Windows Vista OS. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

The sound is coming from your computers internal speaker - and not via your
sound card and external speakers as you note. It is some form of system
alert.

Make/model of PC?

Hi Paul,

The beep is an indicator of a hardware error. As this a new machine, call
the manufacturer as this will be covered by the warranty. Likely a bad port
on the motherboard or similar and it will need to be replaced.
