Help! My PC freezes and starts beeping!

Hey.

After reading this you can vote on the poll to make fun of my PC because it sux.

I need some help with my PC.
You see I got a problem with it. Sometimes when I'm using my PC it suddenly stops responding and starts beeping rapidly. The first thing that I noticed when I was playing UT was that my mouse stops responding because I couldn't turn around. My keyboard is still responding because I could move. Then after about a second after that my computer freezes along with the game. The screen is usually showing the last frame after the lockup. Keyboard also freezes. Then after about another second after that the computer starts beeping rapidly and doesn't stop until I restart it. It's just sick if something like that happens when you're in the middle of yout favourite game and winning. And because of that I've been suffering a lot of data loss recently and I have had this problem for some time now. The problem happens when I'm using my controls (when in game and when not). Usually when I make a sudden move with my mouse. The same thing happens when I'm trying to type something like chatting in jj2 or posting on JCF. I tried to post this before but the problem caught me I don't know if it is a software or hardware problem. Maybe there is a software running on my PC, I can't see it and it causes this mess. But I doubt that. I belive my Dexxa optical mouse has something to do with it. You see sometimes my mouse suddenly freezes. Unlike before, this time it's just mouse. I can see the LED responding to moves but the mouse pointer doesn't. So I have to disconnect the mouse from the PC and reconnect it to make it work again.

What should I do? (vote on the poll)
Can anyone help? (I ask seriously)

I got P2 300 MHz, 256MB of RAM, 4GB HDD and my Dexxa optical mouse of course.
Win 98 First Edition. Yuck.
