Imperial GLVE board. Chances are the board is dead. Check inside and look for symptoms like these:

Be glad you don't hear them anymore.
They do mean something though. Search the Internet for "Beep Codes" and such....see what matches up with your BIOS.
Thanks.

Hey...sometimes random stuff happens for no apparent reason.
Just keep your eyes open for repeat instances.
Thanks.

replace the CMOS battery if you want to be safe. Officially they should last between 3 and 10 years but your mileage may vary...
