I have since installed NVIDIA and now i've remembered why i installed nouveau instead. When using a browser for a while, i get a recurring intermittent beep from somewhere in the machine which does not go away until i close the browser (and sometimes have to log out) - i can only deduce it a warning from the nvidia GT218 card
If the GT218 is one with a fan on its heat sink, could it be that it has a beeper to tell you it's overheating from a dead or filth encrusted fan and/or heat sink and only overheats if using the proprietary driver?
Possibly, i've not opened the machine for a long time. I used the nvidia setting program to check the temp when it beeps and it hovers around 53/54 degrees even when its not beeping.
How old and what model is that motherboard? Could it and/or the PS have swollen or leaking electrolytic (not polymer) caps (8mm X 13mm or larger cans on motherboard, possibly smaller in the PS) anywhere?
It did it from day one on the new motherboard using nvidia. Both boards a 3 -4 years old now but i never got the problem with nouveau.
If you can take a cover off and face a fan at the GT218 and subsequently the beeping is prevented, then you'll know it's a heat related problem, especially if its heat sink has a fan that doesn't spin when the PC is on.> I'll keep an eye on it. I'll just have to close the browser more often.
Thanks for the info.

The other way, is to change the video card for a recent AMD, because from the kernel 4.5.2, You has the AMDGPU open-source video driver included on it.
I am considering that for my next card. thanks
