So in February I build my PC with the following spec:
Cpu - i5 4670K
Cpu Cooler - Corsair h100i
Motherboard - Gigabyte ga-z87x-ud4h
Ram - Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Gpu - EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Dual Superclocked ACX
PSU - EVGA 650W ATX12V / EPS12V
Case - NZXT Source 530
Windows 8.1
Other then a few GPU issues (originally had a ASUS 760 but upgraded) everything has been working perfectly. I had a Cooler master sickleflow fan that started to die on me. I unplugged it since I was moving that week. At the new place, I went to show my buddy how the fan was constantly speeding up and turning off every 5 seconds or so, but when I plugged it in, it stayed on and was working normally. Figured I would leave it till I got my new fan that Saturday. But on Friday, my computer just started having a constant beep from the motherboard speaker.
According to the gigabyte support page(http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/faq-page.aspx?fid=816), its a memory error. I ran memtest86+ 2 different times. One time was for only 2 times through and the second was 8 times through and no errors came back each time I have done it(and no buzzing/beep during either test). I have checked that everything is correctly plugged in and secure. Everything is seated correctly. I'm at a lost. I'm thinking I need a new motherboard but don't know what else to try/do before I go and take it apart and install a new motherboard.
My computer reads all 8GB of ram and can play BF4, Titanfall, and Borderlands 2 all fine with no problem, no buzzing/beeps. I have left the valley benchmark up for 30 minutes to an hour and no buzzing/beeps. It doesn't always do it and I can't see anything in common to make it happen. Sometimes It does it right after I log in, other times after I've been playing for a while and other times it won't do it for 3,4,5 days at a time. Then it will just start again.
Sorry for the Wall
TL DR
Computer build in February
Fan dies, unplug, and plug in again a week or so later
computer starts making constant buzzing/beep at random times
totally random when it does it
ran memtest86+ no errors
plays games fine
need new motherboard?
