Hello i have very serious problem, i bought motherboard with cpu(without warranty). And installed video card, ram.
And there constantly beeping beep sounds. What to do? Tried change ram in different slots not effect, removing bios battery, resetting cmos, launch without video card . Tried without ram or video card still no effect. Black screen
Model : GA-H61M-S1 (rev. 2.1)
Or return motherboard ?

I presume that is coming from the little motherboard speaker? Or don't you have one plugged in? Because it is odd that it changes pitch.
Never heard that kind of "beep code" before. I'd say there is something wrong with the BIOS on the board. Have you tried resetting the BIOS to default with the CMOS jumper?

Removing the battery will not always reset the CMOS. You have to momentarily short the CLR CMOS pins on the motherboard for about 5 seconds with the battery removed and the PSU turned off. That will reset the BIOS back to factory default. See page 18 of your motherboard manual. Or go here if you don't have one: http://www.gigabyte.no/products/page/mb/ga-h61m-s1rev_21/download/

If after that you still have the issue, I'd try to get my money back for the board.
