Hello,

 

I'm very stumped with this issue and would love it is someone else had some thoughts on it.

 

I recently built a computer for my girlfriend using some new and old parts. I reused a PSU, ram and some storage. All of the parts reused where farmed from what was working HTPC.

 

The issue: The computer randomly (independent of the task being run) will lose video output and then reboot. When this happens 5 beeps can be heard followed by pause and another beep(as the PC restarts). (see video)

 

Things I've already checked myself : It's not a heat related issue as the issue still occurs when the PC is idle. I used to have a much newer 32gb of ram in this PC but I replaced them with the current 16gb ram to discard ram issues. Tried reseting the CPU as well.

 

I've tried looking up what the beeps can mean but what I'm finding is pretty broad anything from CPU, PSU, GPU, RAM and Motherboard issues... I'm not a new building a PC from scratch, again.

 

My gut tells me it may be the NVME that could be the issue (probably the oldest part) but I'd rather not replace it until I have some evidence to this being the issue. (money is tight at) I've tried running the windows built in drive test with no issues found.

 

Here are the main parts:

ASRock B450M STEEL LEGEND (reused)

AMD Ryzen 7 5800x (new)

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6800 XT GAMING OC 16G (new)

Corsair Vengeance RGB 16gb RAM (reused)

EvGA 750w power supply(reused)

5 beeps on that board usually means it can't detect a graphics card.  try reseating the card.  Try another PSU if you can too cause the graphics card might not be getting enough power at the point of shut down.  one simple test is remove the card and power up.  if the beeps are the same you know it's something to do with the card

 With all the Trolls, Try Hards, Noobs and Weirdos around here you'd think i'd find SOMEWHERE to fit in!

Tried reseting the GPU, no success. I will try replacing the PSU
