Why is my computer ringing?
Every few minutes my computer spontaneously "rings". Just once. It sounds like a phone ringing. I just hooked up new speakers to it but it was ringing before my old ones gave out too (short in wire...) Is something wrong with my sound card?

Go into the sound listing by going into Control Panel/ Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices / change the sound scheme. Pick a new sound scheme by
typing a name on the top (you can later ignore this if it does not work out),
then "save as." Now highlight any botton, let's say "Device Disconnect" as an example. Underneath you migth or might not see a sound listed. If a sound is listed, click the arrow on the right to the sound to hear what type of sound it is. If it has no sound; then this one is not the problem. Pick another device you want to test out. I had a phone like rinning sound as of late under Divice disconnect. The sound installed itself. It rings several seconds after I disconnected a plug and play item. Your rining might be connected to one or the other program. These things sometimes set themselves. You can also get rid of the nasty shut system down sound and other sounds you do not like.

if the sound is coming from speakers then my best guess is there is some programming on the background doing some work that is making that sound.
And if sound is coming from CPU it could be your laptops low/poor battery sign.
