I think I've figured out what the beeps mean: it's an alert that the CPU fan isn't functioning. Anyway, now that I've disabled that warning, I don't get error messages. It also makes sense, because the fan should only be active when the CPU temperature is above a certain temp, and when I start the computer it's obviously still very cool.

I also figured out what caused the "lights on" problem. In vista, the "power off" button doesn't mean power off, but hibernate (or something). So in fact the computer was still on!

You're right, it could also be a RAM error. Yet the computer functions perfectly otherwise, so I ruled that out.
