PC Troubleshooting beeps in windows

mattcrane · 14 Oct 2021 at 13:17

OK I have no idea what is happening here and could really do with some advice from the OCUK masses.

PC appears to be running just fine but has literally, (in the last hour), started giving off a double bleep every 60 seconds or so when sat in Windows just internet browsing.

CPU i7 8700k @ 4.9Mhz (overclocked by OCUK when Purchased) temp appears to be fine in CoreTemp its currently sat at 30ish degrees.

GPU Aorus 1080Ti (not overclocked) Temp is fine in Afterburner currently sitting at 45ish degrees with the "Fan Stop" illuminated, even if I manually ramp the fans up to 100% the beeping still occurs.

I am fairly certain its not a overheating issue but other than that I have no idea.

PC is now out of warranty which is just bloody typical of my luck :cry:

Anyone got any ideas to try and find out why its beeping would be greatly appreciated.

Do you recognise the beeps? Is it for example the USB connection sound?

I assume you've rebooted?

Sorry should have said the beep is motherboard based by the sounds of it, not through headset or speakers, haven't tried to reboot as frankly I am scared it will not restart.

Unusual to have a speaker nowadays. Have you pulled the side off and made sure it's the motherboard beeping?

Yep deffinately from inside, did a reboot and it restarted fine with no errors. The beep is still there though.

Could be CPU fan fail beep, heatsink could be chunky enough to keep temps low anyway when just sat on the desktop.

Go into the bios and check what your sensor warnings at set to.
