First guess would be a heat issue. Either a fan not spinning like it should or a bunch of dust caked up in the computer.

The first sollution is to, take out all of the hardware attached to the motherboard (except processor & fan), then start up the computer, if the beeping goes away, one of your hardware components is bad, find out which one it is, by plugging them in one at a time, if the beeping doesn't stop, then like the poster said above, it MAY be a fan, but it could also be something on the motherboard, like the processor (sure hope not.)

Hope This was helpful...

PS: Don't be scared!
