As soon as I turn my computer on, it just beeps, really fast, constantly.... B-b-b-b-b-beep!

What does this mean?

I'm using a DS3-p965 mobo, e4300 chip, and 2gb of pc5300 ballistix. It's all watercooled also...

Could it be an airlock or somthing? It has been failing to boot recently, but now it just beeps like some sort of alarm! :mad:

search for DS3-p965 error codes. might give you something.

K, I'll have a look... I've got the manual somewhere, which should have it in. :)

I lol'ed. :p

What graphics card is it?

X800 GTO, also watercooled... I can switch it for a 7800gt tho, just to see if this makes any difference.

Maybe an unhappy overclock, try resetting cmos and see if it boots

Tried this, it doesn't stop it beeping.... :(

100% sure... :D I'll unplug the keyboard anyway, as there could be a short or something...
 
I had the same kind of beeping with my gigabyte mobo not so long ago and it was that in the end.

I tried the memory, but in my panic i must have put the same dimm in twice over, pulled the whole thing apart and took the mobo and cpu back to the shop only for it to work, turns out one of my Geils had failed.
 
Something to do with Road Runner

Oh no sorry thats Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
 
Well I looked up the beep codes, and it says continuous short beeps are a "power failure". I'll try switching out the tagan for a 430w seasonic and see if that helps things at all...

if your on water - have you changed cpu fan fail in the bios ?

Ahh, I hadn't thought of this.... I guess the BIOS will now be at default settings as I reset the CMOS, so I'll try hooking up the stock intel heatsink fan to see if that make it boot...

K, I'll pull the DIMMs and try each one on thier own...

I'm gonna do this tomorrow now, as I've had enough of computers for one day...
 
When i had those beeps on my Giga board, and for that matter any motherboard it was because there was no fan plugged into the CPU fan header. With it being watercooled that is probably the reason as said above.

Could be caused by one of the keyboard keys being pressed (or being stuck down) try checking the keys or unplugging it.

that's what i'd suggest..

beep codes are usually slow and easy to distinguish, try removing the keyboard and then booting
-edit, jumped the thread as i'm tired :p


-hope it's sorted now pal
 
If it's a long Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbeep!

... then i'd follow the suggestions already given.

If it's a "beep beep" then purchase some ACME dynamite, and bait it with seeds under a boulder.

Hope that helps.

edit - .... darn, the roadrunner reference is already mentioned above.
 
The gigabytes long beeps and short beeps are very hard to tell apart.

I thought i had a different kind of failure due to me thinking the beeps were long, when they were in fact short (or vice versa, i cannot quite remember)

One thing i loved about my old Epox mobo was the little display showing an error code on the mobo, great invention, shame i never once needed to use it!
 
Unplugged keyboard, it still does it.....

Reseated the RAM, and cleared the CMOS (again), still nothing...

I have still yet to try another PSU as it's in another rig... I also can't find my intel stock cooler, but I'm gonna have a good hunt on the weekend, and hopefully it should turn up...

It's definitely lot of short beeps (bbbbbbbeep) as opposed to 1 long beep (beeeeeeeeeeep), but I could grab an MP3 of it with my iRiver if that would help?
