Power steering loss (searched, but similar)
i was driving today and suddenly i felt my power steernig gone. SO i pulled over and i start hearing this beeping sound. SO i imediately turned off my car and turned it on again i had my power steering again, but temporarily. I lost it again and it started beeping. I got home alright as u guys can see but i'm wondering what the hell is going on?
i checked the fluid and it was good too.

You didn't read the FAQ at the top of this section, did you, n00b? 
And this is the Mother of all p/s beep threads:

Now go fix your damn car!
I keep hearing a beep beep beep
Probably the power steering computer telling you there is a problem with the system. The number of beeps before pausing will indicate the problem.
1-beep, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of speed sensor signal:
In case broken wires or short circuits occur to sensors or harnesses, the buzzer sounds 60-seconds after the engine speed signal of 2200 rpm continues for 18-seconds.
2-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of engine speed signal:
The buzzer sounds when the vehicle speed signal is input and no engine speed signal is input (short circuit, broken wire, etc.)
3-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of stepping motor signal:
The buzzer sounds when there are broken wires or short circuits in coils or harnesses.
4-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of the power steering microcomputer:
The buzzer sounds when there are circuit troubles other than with the micro computer.
5-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of steering sensor signal: Steering sensor is mis-aligned or failed or steering wheel has been improperly installed.

Look under the dash. It's the gold, rectangular box almost directly under the shaft of the steering column. It is NOT on the wall on the left side the foot well. That gold box is the cruise control computer.
