Hey everyone,

So I'm new to the PC world. I built my first computer a few weeks ago, and sometimes when I go to start the computer all of the lights will come on, I will get no signal on my monitor, and the motherboard will start giving me a three beep warning. I then hold the power button to turn it off, and then turn it back on and it works fine. Then a few power on later it will happen again. I have not messed at all with the BIOS. I moved the 2 RAM sticks to the 2nd channel slots, and after i did that the computer never does it again. I'm wondering if there is a chance that i need to replace my motherboard, my RAM sticks, or both all together. Any suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated. My motherboard is a ASUS Prime Z270-M Plus.

Three beeps that repeat after a pause and occur when you power on your computer usually indicates a problem with the system memory. Three beeps that play and then stop as the computer starts successfully mean that the BIOS was restored.

What is the ram you are using?

GeIL Super Luce 16GB (2x8) for the ram. What reason would there be to do the three beeps sometimes, but other times it will work just fine?
