And you thought your computer had issues!

I was searching the internet for a troubleshooting issue and came across this article on the Microsoft support website:

"Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music"

>

During normal operation or in Safe mode, your computer may play "Fur Elise" or "It's a Small, Small World" seemingly at random. This is an indication sent to the PC speaker from the computer's BIOS that the CPU fan is failing or has failed, or that the power supply voltages have drifted out of tolerance. This is a design feature of a detection circuit and system BIOSes developed by Award/Unicore from 1997 on.

Although these symptoms may appear to be virus-like, they are the result of an electronic hardware monitoring component of the motherboard and BIOS. You may want to have your computer checked or serviced.

LOL..so the computer played classical music upon the death of the CPU?
