wtf causes it? it did it once ages and ages ago but its just done it again and nothing changes on the screen or anything it just starts beeping and wont stop until you switch it off and on again although when you turn on it sounds like a plane taking off and slowly gets quieter

most likely a temperature warning (internal or CPU), could be a case alarm (open side panel), or could be a stuck key on the keyboard.
