Hi everyone. Thanks in advance to whomever is taking the time to read this.
Recently I bought a new PC. Here are the specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P8H77-V LE
Processor: Intel i5-3570K @ 3.40 GHz
Memory: Kingston 4 GB 667 MHz
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6670 1 Gb
HDD: Toshiba 1 TB 7200 RPM
PSU: Sentey STY-60PS 600W
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster S23B350H (23'', 1920x1080)
So, after using it for a while and having no problems, I started getting error beeps (one or more sets of 3 short beeps), with no system failure. This happened while multitasking with several Acrobat files. Then it happened again while playing some games. I can elicit the same error if I play more GPU intensive games (Dishonored, which isn't thaat heavy anyway), so I assumed the problem was there. Since I could carry on playing the game without any hindrance, I thought I could be a temp issue. Still, I updated drivers and utilities of the MB and video card in case there was anything wrong with them, as well as the BIOS. Also, I removed and re-attached the video card. All fans seemed to be working OK.
The ASUS software gave me no indication that there was anything wrong, both before and during game play, and just after error. Temps for CPU were consistently <45°C (113°F) and temps for MotherBoard were <40°C (104°F). Voltage seemed alright and stable to my layman's eyes (Vcore 1.008, +12V 12.168, +5V 5.160, +3.3V 3.403V). To check the T° of the GPU, I used CPUID Hardware Monitor. Here's the data for that. As far as I can tell, temp is alright with that too. So what else might be the problem?
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I could take it back to the seller, but I need it for now so I can continue working.
Thanks!!
