Hello, I recently did my first build, it boots and posts but with a catch. Whenever I turn it on the motherboard beeps endlessly, the motherboard is a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3.
I did some research and it seems that a continuous beep is supposed to indicate bad memory, the thing is, if it was bad memory it wouldn't post right? I think I read somewhere else that it could also mean the CPU is overheating, this makes some sense to me as I had a particularly difficult time installing the cpu cooler and the only thermal paste was on the cooler itself. Also when I do get the computer to post I get temps up to 51C which seems rather high for simply sitting in bios. Furthermore if I try and install windows 10, ignoring the beeping, it will run for awhile and then do a forced shut down in the middle of it.
Specs:
Psu: Evga 650 watt modular
Cpu: Amd R5 1600
Mobo: Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3
Gpu: Evga Gtx 1060
Ram: 16GB corsair LPX 3000Mhz
So what I want to know is:
1. Are those Bios temps abnormal (this is in a full tower case btw with 4 case fans)
2. (For future reference) Can you actually post with bad memory?
3. Does buying thermal paste and reapplying make sense?
