Computer Beeps - Locks up during the 1sec beep

My friend had posted this problem on wickednet.org and no one seems to be able to figure out the problem. I've thought up everything I could and none of it seems to solve it either.

When he plays any game, usually Final Fantasy XI Online, occasionally he'll hear a single beep that lasts about a second and during that beep, it basically locks up the system until the beep is done.

Overheating has already been suggested and ruled out. Accessibility stuff has already been suggested and ruled out. Pressing too many keys too fast has been suggested and ruled out.

Specs are:

Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR
AMD Athlon 64 2800+
512 400 DRR
120 gig seagate
15 gig (unknown)
9800 pro 128 mg
Soundblaster Live 5.1
