My Predator PH315-51/NVIDIA GTX1060 started making audible beeps about three months ago. It will make 1 beep then the backlighting on the keyboard goes dark then a second beep and the back lighting comes back on. It is the same beep heard when plugging in the power cord while the machine is running. My sticky key function is in the off positing in Predator Sense. Unplugging the power cord silences the beeping and when I plug power back in after battery life has dropped a bit there are no beeps and it may stay silent and everything works normally for a couple days. Then, it will start beeping again. I have checked all of the power settings in Windows (that I could find) and do not see any reason it would/should be doing this. It sounds like a P.O.S.T. beep but the machine is already booted and Windows is running. Also, the screen darkens a bit along with the keyboard going dark in between beeps as if it were unplugged. And the power brick gets SUPER hot (always does beeps or not). Bad brick? 
Performance during gaming is not affected at all. I can run Warhammer 2, Metro Last Light, Crysis 2, and ESO all simultaneously and on max settings while all this beeping business is going down and nothing is actually affected performance-wise (this is using the laptop monitor only so I switch from game to game displaying only 1 at a time). I do this to rapidly drop the battery charge so it can be plugged back in without the annoying beep. So my question is very simple: W.T.F. is going on with my NEW machine Acer? If it ends-up being some deeply hidden Windows 10 power setting that's fine, everyone knows how difficult that OS is to work with. But if it's already a Hardware problem...….
