My computer is emitting a beeping noise, but I can't locate its origin.
Over the past month, my desktop has been emitting a beeping sound. It isn't a steady noise, but it occurs unpredictably. My computer setup includes a Ryzen 5600x, Asus Prime X570 Pro, NZXT x240 AIO CPU cooler, Gskill 8G RAM (4 sticks), Seasonic 700W power supply, and an EVGA 2080 Super monitor. I've tried turning off the fans, but the sound didn't come from them. Could it be the AIO cooler or the RAM? I've attached a video for reference and hope it helps me resolve this issue.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Remove all side panels from your case for better sound access. I’ll use an A4 sheet of paper, roll it into a cylinder, and probe the area around the vents or motherboard using one end.
From your video, it seems the rear of the case near the vents might be connected to the motherboard.
Seasonic 700w power
Seasonic is the PSU brand, and 700W is its advertised power. Please specify the model number. How long has the unit been in use?
You may want to examine the sequence of beep codes—count the long and short beeps.
Thank you for your message!
I don't understand the model name, but I purchased it three years ago in its original condition (I recall it had "dagger" included).
The pattern of the beep sounds isn't consistent—it's completely random. At times, it just keeps repeating "beep beep b..." followed by a pause and then "e...".
Is there a small speaker connected to the bottom right side of the motherboard? It uses a 4-pin connector with a short cable and a cylindrical black end. Does it produce coil whine? You can search for "coil whine examples" online.
