I have a K7S5A motherboard and, for the past several days, has gotten into
the habit of beeping 5 times at the very end of the bootup, just as the
desktop loading finishes. I am running Windows XP SP2.

Any idea what the beeps mean? I assume it is something bad but I have no
idea what it means or how to find out, except to ask here.

For what it's worth, I've had this motherboard for over 6 years now and it
has only started doing this in the last few days. In February, I had major
issues with my hard drive and acquired a replacement drive. However, I still
have my old drive in place as well so that I can gradually move my key data
over to the new drive. The old drive still seems to be working but it would
not remotely surprise me if the 5 beeps have something to do with the old
drive.

perhaps the video card needs reseated.

If running win2k or xp or vista, check the system logs since some disk
errors are reported there.
