Beeping Sound + Lag?

[Odd]

Ever since I installed Windows 7 a few days ago, I'll be playing Team Fortress 2 for a few minutes, and suddenly I'll get random beeping sounds and spurts of lag.

Any ideas?

This did not happen in Vista.

Can you pinpoint the source of the beeps? It might be the MOBO throwing an error code (overheating could cause this)

 

[Odd]

How might I do that? And why would I be overheating? It wasn't a problem before.

Is there some sort of shortcut I could be pressing around the keys I use to play? The sound and lag, when I get it, seems to occur much more when I push the 'w' key to move forward and will stop if i stand still [and I think] move side to side.

This would have to be something new with Windows 7 because I haven't had the problem before.

You might have the "sticky keys" turned on and this is enabled by pressing the shift key a few times in a row. I wish I was at my Win7 machine to tell you where in Control Panel to find it, I hope someone will post the area of it before i get home if not I will when I get there.

I had similar problems with the beeping and the lag and it was an overheating problem when I was playing a game like CoD4 for an extended period of time...a noticed a small amount of dust on my case fan intake/outtake and on the fans for my video card that was easily cleaned with some compressed air and have never had the problem since with continued periodical cleanings

It might be...if he is pressing shift with those keys...

Never hurts to find out...
Control Panel->Ease of Access->Ease of Access Center->Make the keyboard easier to use->Uncheck Sticky Keys

I have the same problem over here.. But I don't know what to do.. Still searching for a solution, if you find one please send the solution to my account I will do the same

Well I've found that if I stop moving and tap shift one time it stops.

I have no idea what's causing it.

Do you have adequate cooling? Run SpeedFan to find out.

I have an Antec 1200 case with 6 fans, and the problem only started with Windows 7.

I'm pretty sure I'm hitting some keystroke for something if I can simply make it stop by standing still and tapping shift.

With Vista, I didn't have this problem, so it's not the hardware I think it's directx 11.. Since I installed it, I've been having these problems..

Found a fix!!

The problem is with CTRL + Space switching between languages.
Go to the control panel, remove any extra languages and disable any shortcut keys. This fixed the problem for me, GL HF!

Hi Everyone

I seem to have this same issue...

This happens every time I play games, doesn't matter what game I play... Even though this didn't happen when I built the PC.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Intel i5 4670k
120gb Sandisk Extreme ssd
Intel mobo
Sapphire Radeon 7770HD Of Edition

I checked speedfan and there's no overheating issues at all. I've been using a USB Mac keyboard for more than 3 years now. This seem to have started around 4 months ago.

While I play games, I can hear a fairly soft beep and the keyboard button I pressed, is w for forward, would get "stuck" and the character would keep moving in that direction. Doesn't matter what I do, nothing can stop this. This stays like this for a few seconds, then for some reason the game looks like it freezes for a split second as if its loading. Once this is done, the character still moves in that same direction but if I press the same button again, it stops and I can continue playing. This would happen around 5 times every minute.

I'm sure you can see that its damn annoying. I've tried the above and one seems to work.

Please can anyone help here?
