OK, wow, you guys will never know what the problem was. I have a digital clock gadget on my desktop, and it was set - by default - to sound alarm hourly. I just got that gadget about 2 weeks ago, would never think it was capable of that, the gadget has all kinds of settings. I guess I didn't have time to play with those right away - should have.
Good thing I saved myself an RMA pain.
Just wanted to thank everyone for their help. This could be a good tip for the future.
