Topic	My computer keeps playing this chime randomly. Can't figure out why?

No idea if it applies to your situation here, but sometimes when a motherboard is in the process of failing it will often lose connection to random onboard devices as the BGA chips (GPU, chipset, etc) heat up and cool down. You'll usually hear the USB device plugging/unplugging sound play at random as the connection is lost and reconnected. It's a real pain to test for this though since it can be a very intermittent thing. I've seen plenty of computers pass all hardware tests and then fail on subsequent tests, and then pass again. Could be something else though. The best way to test for this is to keep the Device Manager open and see if anything changes on it when the sound goes off. Oh god I hope this isn't it. The thing is literally 4 days old at this point and it took almost a month from the time of ordering to the time it was on my doorstep. ;_; I do not want to have to send it back... ClunkerSlim posted... Facebook notifications? Some app game notifications? I don't have Facebook. And there weren't many game notifications happening. Besides, they all had little pop-ups in the corner of the screen while I was playing and used a different chime sound. E32005 posted... Sounds like a driver issue That's a definite possibility. The company I bought it through was supposed to have installed everything and updated all the drivers, but I guess it's not much of a stretch that they might've missed one. And there has been two windows Action Center messages about requiring a restart to complete the installation of the SMBus Driver and the Logitech USB Device driver. Several restarts later and the notifications wouldn't go away despite them both working perfectly fine. Though now that I check, they seem to not have shown up this morning when I booted up. I guess I'll turn the sounds back on for a bit and see if it's still chiming or if maybe that was the issue and it's somehow fixed itself.
