My system boots fine into Win7. My PC specs are listed by my name.
The pc speaker is properly connected to the speaker header on the motherboard (red wire to +5V and black to "speaker.") There's no beep that indicates a successful POST but it *will* beep if I decide to go into the bios setup. It will also beep a different tone if I input the wrong bios password after 3 tries (I've already setup various BIOS settings, including disabling all the "super I/O" ports, "Smart Connect," and "Rapid Start.") According to this: ASRock > Support > FAQ "no beep" is indicative of a "bad cpu" but there's no evidence of a "bad" cpu since it boots into win7 fine and temps seem normal. The "lack" of a single "normal" beep is concerning to me. Either the BIOS sees the cpu as faulty and still boots anyway, or the speaker is faulty. Or the BIOS is faulty since I don't recall any time (in my somewhat limited experience in computers) where pressing the "del" key would make the system beep -- indicating entry into the BIOS setup.
Is this normal function?
Full disclosure: I could have OCD
