When the computer produces beep code, that mean something is wrong. Can you be more specific what type of beep is that? Is there a pattern, like 2 long 1 short etc? See if you can duplicate the problem with different type of software. The easiest way is to load up BIOS and let the machine sit there. If the beep can be duplicate in BIOS, there is hardware failure.

Most beep code cover things from CPU, RAM, Power, motherboard.

RayRay: HP and Dell engineer their system to be as quiet as possible, so they use BTX board and 90-120mm exhaust fan + wind-tunnel instead of the standard HSF that comes with the CPUs. Larger fan with slower speed mean larger air flow area, thus system is running quieter and cooler.

It's not that expensive to buy a new Intel HSF for Celeron.
