@BenN... something I'm curious about that involves some intricacies with Windows. If the system is very busy (apparantly at the kernel level) and can't respond to hardware interrupts but isn't quite hung (e.g. lots of processes launching at once), if I move my mouse or scroll rapidly, the system will beep. This is from Windows itself, not a particular application and not from hardware. Why does the system do that?
...just replace "keyboard" with "mouse" in the event log entry.
Huh. Looks like an input device driver, like sermouse.sys (serial mouse driver), i8042prt.sys (PS/2 driver), or kbdclass.sys (USB keyboard driver), will generate this error if its internal ring buffer overflows, and it will call beep.sys to make the system beep. It is indeed kernel-mode.
two things, why are multiple persons pinging JMG about it and why in this room?

Sorry, I guessed it was off-topic here, but I thought it would be better to keep the discussion in one room since it was started here. TheLittleNaruto and I happened to come across this user in chatroom linked to Music Fans SE, which is why I also know about it.

@jokerdino Thanks for this, though. What would be a better way to deal with this issue if I see the user cropping up again and repeating this behaviour?
@Brahadeesh as far as I can see, there are no tools to prevent it from happening again.
so, we just have to keep playing whack-a-mole.

Ugh, that can't be fun... If I need to, can I trouble you in this room again in the future, or is there a more suitable place / mode of bringing it to the attention of mods?
