Default BIOS beep codes

I read that one short tone from computer speaker is "Dram Refresh
Failure". What does this mean?

This is after boot up during normal operation not during bootup.

Then it isn't a BIOS beep code since those occur during boot.

Then any ideas what a single beep from the computer speaker at random
intervals during normal operation might be?

Possibly a temperature warning or something else that is set to give an
alarm.
