My computer randomly beeps (it always repeats 3 times 3 short beeps). I thought that it san be connected with overheating, but even when I've cleaned the computer (radiators even with compressed air, I've changed the thermal paste on the CPU) it still beeps. The temperatures while beeping aren't so high either - GPUShark shows 67 Celcius as the max, RealTemp - 58. The computer beeps only when I play some games, but, what's interesting, it didn't beep when I ran Furmark or Prime95, each for 30 minutes and the temperature was much higher then than now. My motherboard is MSI Z77AG43. Please help me, I've been trying to do everything to silence this annoying thing but after week I don't have any idea left what to do with this...

3 beeps normaly means a base ram error on ami bios enabled systems. replacing the ram will often fix this.

award bios again memory error.
try going into bios and loading optomised defaults, then check the memory voltages to see if there set within spec. if there not adjust them.
either by enabling xmp profiles or manually adjusting the voltages. but stay under 1.65v on an intel i3/i5/i7 build.

Yes, but one time when I ignored the beeping, some time later it beeped again (3 times 3 beeps, as usual), but when I ignored it then too, after 15 minutes the computer started beeping like crazy (short beeps played constantly till I turned off the PC). The constant beeping happened only once, normally it just beeps 3 times and stops. But it is so annoying... Anyway, I didn't think about testing RAM in Prime 95. I think I'll let it run for 30 minutes (only RAM test) and let you know what was happening when it finishes.
@jaraldo - no, there weren't any problems with randomly turning off/rebooting. Also, I don't know what beep codes I should look in - I have this "new" ClickBIOS thing :p
@HEXiT - I've tried to reset the settings to defaults with no results. Updating the BIOS also didn't help

I forgot to write the funniest part - the computer beeps despite the fact I've removed the buzzer about a month ago. I did it because I had an other problem that just repaired itself. The problem I had was that constant beeping noise (no stops just one continuous beep since the moment I pushed the Power button till the PC completely turned off), but the computer was also running normally. I still don't know what happened then (and how it beeps when there is no PC Speaker connected) and how it just magically repaired itself...
EDIT: After 30 minutes of 4 instances od Memtest working simultaneously - no errors, no beeping...
