Five beeps at startup

[HelyXince]

Hey everyone,

 

This is my first forum post and I need you help.

While this isn't an urgent problem I do get annoyed by it quite a bit.

There are 2 possibilities if I hit my power button:

1. The computers posts correctly, beeps five times, then proceeds to boot windows 10.

2. The computer loads directly into the bios.

 

I hope someone know what the problem is. System specs are down below.

 

Thank you in advance,

Case: GIGABYTE iSolo

Motherboard: MS-7797

CPU: i7-3770 , Standard CPU Cooler

RAM: 8GB DDR3 Ram @ 1333 MHz

PSU: MS-TECH 750Watt

GPU: galax Geforce GTX 970

Storage: 1x Samsung 850 EVO SSD

               2x HDD, don't know what kind.

From what Google says about the  MS-7797 motherboard it uses AMI bios. According to the bios beep codes for AMI you have a processor problem.

 

Here is a table of beep codes for AMI bios extracted from http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/amibeep.htm

 

Beeps	Error Message	Description
1 short	DRAM refresh failure	The programmable interrupt timer or programmable interrupt controller has probably failed
2 short	Memory parity error	A memory parity error has occurred in the first 64K of RAM.  The RAM IC is probably bad
3 short	Base 64K memory failure	A memory failure has occurred in the first 64K of RAM.  The RAM IC is probably bad
4 short	System timer failure	The system clock/timer IC has failed or there is a memory error in the first bank of memory
5 short	Processor error	The system CPU has failed
6 short	Gate A20 failure	The keyboard controller IC has failed, which is not allowing Gate A20 to switch the processor to protected mode. Replace the keyboard controller
7 short	Virtual mode processor exception error	The CPU has generated an exception error because of a fault in the CPU or motherboard circuitry
8 short	Display memory read/write error	The system video adapter is missing or defective
9 short	ROM checksum error	The contents of the system BIOS ROM does not match the expected checksum value.  The BIOS ROM is probably defective and should be replaced

When it loads directly to bios are the date and time correct? Do you have any missing items such as HDD or COM ports?

Bios date and time are correct. All of my sata connections are working.
I found out that my pc only boots into bios when it wasn't connected to power. Maybe that helps.

That still sounds CMOS batt related
