System Beeps

[Pez]

Hi all.

I have the EP35C-DS3R.

Now, since I didn't actually record this [], here's what I "think" it sounded like:

I started my computer from a cold boot, and instead of getting that one successful system beep, I got a continuous series of them right in a row.

I think they were a series of short beeps all in a row. As soon as it did this series of beeps, I hear the system power down (it gets quiet for a moment, no fans spinning, etc.)......and then the system powers back up, I hear that one successful beep, and the system boots just fine into my desktop.

I looked in my MB manual to read about those system beeps. Up above where I said I think they were short beeps.....well......in the manual, it mentions both continuous short and long beeps.

Could mine have been a series of continuous long beeps? I suppose.....but I guess it depends upon your definition of what a long beep sounds like

Anyway:

Continuous long beeps is: Graphics card not inserted properly
Continuous short beeps is: Power error

If they were in-fact long beeps (graphics card), then would my system have booted eventually at all? If my graphics card wasn't seated properly, then I would not have eventually gotten an image on-screen, correct? And remember like I said: After this series of beeps, the system shut down by itself, was quiet for a moment, and then booted fine successfully, with that one beep.

If they were in-fact short beeps (power error), then would that mean my PSU itself is going "bad". It's a pretty good one, a Corsair 750 watt.

But if my PSU was bad, would the system have booted again right away like I described that it did?

What do you think?

Any thoughts or ideas?

you should list your system configurations (cpu, ram, vga, bios version etc)

Yes please we can better help you if you fill in your PC specs or but a detailed list of your hardware in your forum sig.

as for the the peeps a short beep would be BEEP. A long beep would BEEEEEEEEEEEEP. and it should be a code either BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP for 3 short beeps or BEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEP FOR 3 long beeps. So in other words you should hear a beep then a pause then a beep then a pause then you would have to take note long or short beep and how many beeps did you hear?
