Hi all,

I've built a new pc containing a Gigabyte z77-hd3 motherboard, i7 2600k CPU, 4x4GB DDR3 corsair vengeance ram, EVGA GTX 580 gpu, ocz vertex 2 ssd and I put my corsair 650w tx psu in there.

My problem is, as soon as I power up the system it will constantly beep similar to a truck backing up. This will go on for about 10 minutes while I am able to do my browsing etc, then it will stop. This is a huge annoyance as I use this while people are sleeping.

The second problem, probably linked to this is when I restart my PC after the beeping has stopped, it will hang on the Gigabyte bios screen and not let me do anything or boot.

I will then have to turn my pc off by the power and leave it for 10 seconds. When I turn it back on the beeping begins again, and the same story happens as above.

Now I have turned my pc on without RAM, gpu, cpu, drives and fans. The beeping still exists. Obviously I hear the beeping for about three seconds when the ram and cpu are out.

But yea, it's obviously my motherboard.

Any advice on a fix or should I send this back?

Thanks

chris
 
Hi,

This problem is strange, I am guessing something is not plugged in right, check your cpu so that the cpu fan is plug in properly. It's even worse since you can get in windows....
Did you apply thermal past, maybe you put too many and some of it leaked in the cpu socket.
Is anything overheating in the bios, download coretemp to check the cpu temps.

You might have a bad board so you might want to RMA it.
