Do you have any USB devices connected to your machine when you boot up? Some machines will emit a low beep tone when a USB device is detected during startup...usually a beep for each device as it's installed.

Try removing a couple devices and see if you get fewer (or no) boops.....

Do you have them connected to individual ports on the machine? If you do, connecting them through a USB hub may be the solution...external hubs are usually detected after Windows loads.
ya individual ports..besides hub..is there anyother way? like changing setting in windows/bios or something?

You can certainly try that...I haven't got the machine that does that here set up at the moment so I can't try it to verify it, but it certainly won't hurt anything to give it a try.

You can pick up a self-powered (no external supply), 4 port USB hub from an online shop like Tiger Direct for under $10 + S/H. I have this one Sabrent USB 2.0 Ultra Slim 4-Ports Self Powered Mini HUB and it works very well.

I agree that the powered USB hub would be the preferred option and would provide added convenience for using USB devices, as well.
