Beep beep beep beep etc......

I have a brand new XPS, and I noticed last night that when I start up it goes through the process, and before it gets to the log in it starts going Beep beep beep beep etc...... I can make it stop by pressing any key, but there has got to be a reason why, Help anyone!
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I've seen this with a poorly-seated RAM card as well. Try removing and reinstalling the RAM card (or cards) and pay close attention to seating them properly.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I'm bound to figure it out, considering its a new PC either that or it's a lemon :~{
