I hear 1 long and 3 short beeps on boot. Everything is working fine tho, it boots up to windows 10 just fine. I'm worried maybe something is wrong with my pc that i am unaware about? I dont know what those beeps mean.

System:
ASUS H81m-D MoBo
i5 4460 CPU
Zotac GTX 1060 Amp! 6gb GPU
1x8gb 1x4gb(12gb total) 1600mhz Zeppelin RAM
Trendsonic EcoFriendly 700W PSU

I found this info which should be related:

[Motherboard] Table for ASUS BIOS beep codes

BIOS Beep

Description

One short beep:
VGA detected
No keyboard detected

Two short beeps:
When using Crashfree to recover BIOS, the new BIOS is successfully recognized.

One continuous beep followed by two short beeps then a pause (repeated):
No memory detected

One continuous beep followed by three short beeps:
No VGA detected

One continuous beep followed by four short beeps:
Failure of Hardware component

ASUS link found from FAQ's on H81M-D Mobo site

I suspect you have the "One continuous beep followed by 3 short beeps" message, which mean "No VGA detected". I'm assuming that this means that it isn't detecting the iGPU of the CPU, because you have a dedicated GPU installed.

Thanks! Then its "No VGA" so why then my PC still boots up despite of the beeps?

I believe it knows that you have a dedicated GPU (other VGA device), so it continues on

Do I have to worry about it?

I wouldn't be too concerned. If everything is working fine, then you should be fine. You could contact Asus support and verify it, but I'm betting your just fine. I have an Asus Mobo that does something similar, and it has been running for 6-7 years without issues
