5 long beeps continuous

natedogg45us · Jun 6, 2018

I moved my PC and on start up it will not stop beeping. 5 long beeps. everything starts fine I can go online My sound works. I can game. nothing bad happens. Ive trying going into bios and turning off alarms on low fan speed. I've remounted my video card and ram and also completely unplugged and hard booted my computer I also checked the computer is reading both ram cards. It's super annoying. the computer isnt over heating nor is it showing any issues of updates.

it depends on the Bios branding, but roughly (not exclusively) could be either:
- CMOS battery failing (Time and date reset after every reboot)
- Bad memory modules: if possible run a memory test, install one memory module at a time.
- 4 Pin CPU power instead of 8pin.

Please try testing with bare minimum hardware attached to your motherboard.

if you have a large cpu cooler is may have pulled the cpu slightly out of the cpu slot. with the power off lift up the cpu lock level and lightly push down. then relock the latch.
