I created an account just to express my gratitude. I recently assembled my first PC and have been experiencing this post beeping code sporadically for quite some time, which has been really frustrating. I even reached out to Nvidia to request a return of my 3080 FE, but the process was quite disappointing. Once I saw this issue, I managed to consistently trigger the beep code on an MSI B550-A Pro. This should be more widely recognized instead of people dismissing the card as dead, pointing to a faulty L2 cache and simply replacing it. Thank you, I hope this doesn’t happen again!
I also need to express my gratitude, though it feels like a bittersweet task. Same here, pro b550-a. It functioned well until I experimented with wake on LAN (and turned display off). A cool discovery and a bit unsettling. I hope MSI shares these details and clarifies things more clearly.
One long beep followed by two short beeps indicates a video card error. Ensure your video card is properly seated or plugged in. Verify the slot isn<|pad|>, avoiding any damage or dust. When using a SATA cable, inspect both the card and the connector for any harm. If you suspect RAM, that’s incorrect. One long beep plus two short beeps points to a video card problem; three long followed by three short signals RAM concerns, and eight short suggests a faulty or missing adapter.
Your PC has been functioning smoothly after setup, but lately you've noticed some oddities. When powering on, the EzDebug DRAM indicator flashes once before shutting off. During normal operation, everything runs perfectly, though you occasionally hear a brief beep every few minutes. After replacing the memory and updating the BIOS, the problem persists. I'm unsure what to do next. Thanks for sharing your build details.
Consider doing a few memory checks with memtest86. These tests can spot random memory issues that might appear unexpectedly, though they’re uncommon. The process takes time and probably won’t find anything, but it’s completely free. You could try running it during off-hours when the computer isn’t in use.
I understand this discussion is quite old, but I’m here to see if it might assist someone. It appeared on Google for "1 long beep 2 short." I’ve tried everything—replaced RAM, GPU, power supply. Everything was available for swapping. I disassembled the whole system, shook all cables twice, changed from a display port cable to HDMI. It worked then. After that, I switched back to the original display port cable and it functioned perfectly. It seems the issue was with the cables themselves.
You're experiencing unusual beep patterns on your ASUS Prime A320M-A. It sounds like the system is trying to communicate hardware issues, but the behavior is inconsistent. After checking BIOS resets and trying without the graphics card, you're still facing problems even with no RAM or power source. This could indicate a deeper hardware fault—possibly a motherboard or CPU issue. It might help to test with another motherboard or CPU to isolate the problem.
I recently purchased a Lenovo Y25-30 240Hz and encountered this beep when using the provided DP cable. The sound consists of a long one followed by two short tones. My system setup includes an MSI X570 Tomahawk, AMD R5 5600X, two 8GB Corsair 3200MHz cards, and a GeForce 1070 GPU connected via DP, HDMI, and DVI-D. I’m unsure why this happens. I plan to provide feedback once the RTX 4070 arrives on Monday. It’s possible the GeForce 1070 is experiencing an issue, though it should run at 240Hz in Windows. Another thought is that after the GPU rebuild, more power pins may have been connected, which could explain the disappearance of the beeps.
Thread age doesn't matter if you have the correct solution (Google search shows 3 results). The issue seems to depend on whether the monitor is off or not. My setup uses a slow monitor, which caused problems before the upgrade. The BIOS beep didn't work with the old version, but after upgrading, it stopped. The new BIOS might resolve this. I prefer the updated version for better security and future support.
Same issue on a new B550 PRO-VDH with a Ryzen 5600. I used an old VGA monitor but it didn’t work, and the display port I normally use also failed. I’m confused about what’s wrong. It doesn’t seem like the RAM is the problem, and maybe switching to HDMI could help.
