I have this fun thing going on and I don't know how to address it so I came for help.

So I have this aging PC with those specs:

  • i7 3930K@4.2ghz
  • Asus P9X79 Deluxe
  • 4*8GB DDR3 1600mhz

It's all nice and games but it beeping. First, it beeps 1 short which means okey-dokey... so far so good... about 2-3 seconds later it beeps 1 long and 3 short which afaik its a RAM issue.

A few seconds later it just casually boots into Windows like nothing ever happened. 

So I ran memtest for 4 hours.. zero errors found. 

Dropped the OC and returned everything to stock.. Still the same boot sequence.

 

I don't get BSODs, it doesn't crash when I render or game... but it did crash once with prime95. I changed nothing, ran it again, and it just went on for a couple of hours without crashing.

Temps seems okay - around 70-75c under load.

 

Now what? I can just pull out that speaker and let it go but im just worried.

I get that sometimes (amd tho) an orange light appears on the board (doesn't boot into windows) and I have to restart the pc.. happens every so often and not every time, there is nothing wrong with my ram that I would know.. Did you try taking it out and puting it back in? are the ram modules in dual channell? Sorry this is the best I got..

Yes, I did juggle with them and they are in dual channel.
