Answer»

My computer's hardware specification are:

Intel Core i7-3820 3.60Ghz
Corsair Vengeance 32GB RAM (4X8GB)
Windows 7 64-bit
Asus Extreme Motherboard
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 3GB
Creative SB X-Fi Xtream
Corsair TX850 – power supply
1HD – 256GB SSD
2HD – 2TB – Western Digital

Yesterday (for some unexpected reason) whenever I started a high level game – such as WOW, Diablo, GTA V, Tera and more – after about 5-6 minutes the computer started beeping!

The beeps come from the motherboard speaker and not the actual speakers.
The beeps are random and are inconsistent. They can be one beep, 4 beeps, 3 beeps or any combination of them.
There is no specific pattern that I can see.

I have done the Microsoft memory test, two separate graphic card stress tests, checked the hard drives for errors.
I have disconnected all the cards, cleaned the motherboard, the power supply and the three 22mm fans in the midi-tower.
I have checked the temp with Everest, CPUID HWMonitor and OCCT. I have also checked internally for any abnormalities, malware and such.
There are no clear errors in the event viewer that I can guess.
I have rechecked all settings in the BIOS for the temp/fan/CPU monitoring options.

For the life of me I cannot find the CAUSE of this mad beeping! And it is driving me crazy!

Any help would be great.

Kind Regards,
SD

Note: Your NEWER BIOS may have different ones...Hi,

Thank you.
Different ones? what did you mean?

Kind Regards,
SDThere are different codes for different BIOS's...

BTW Welcome Aboard...Thank you very much.

Well, you did ask...
OP, can you undo (remove) the HDD and run just on the SSD?
If so, try that. The HDD may be the unlikely cause of the beeping.
(No explanation.)

No...i didn't ask for an answer that led nowhere...

I doubt a HDD...SSD or otherwise would cause MBoard beeps...A Hard can and does make a noise that sounds to some like a beep.more...
Also, some motherboards sound the alarm if the fan is not detected.
