I know this beeeeep sound -- it sometimes happens to me as well, when halting
the system. I don't know the exact reason. When I press a key, the machine will
reboot and everything is fine (file systems have been closed and such..) 

In your particular case: What happens when you reboot the machine? Is there a
boot: prompt or does it show any other life signs?
