I just saw an article - and have never before heard of this happening:
"Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music -
If your PCs or servers ever start playing "Fur Elise" or "It's a Small, Small World" seemingly at random, it's not a virus - it's worse. It's an indication from the computer's BIOS that the CPU fan is failing or has failed, or that the power supply voltages have drifted out of tolerance. This is a design feature of a detection circuit and system BIOSes developed by Award/Unicore from 1997 on." http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q261/1/86.ASP
