Odd BIOS beeps

[dbmeed]

Having a weird issue with my computer in the past couple weeks, anyone have any ideas?

Normally, I will put it in to sleep mode overnight. Recently, when I try to wake it from sleep mode, all I get is a multiple BIOS beeps continuing for about 30s, then 3 lower pitch beeps. I'll force shut down the computer, turn off and unplug the PSU, hold the power button to drain capacitors, plug it back in, then turn it back on. As soon as I hit the power button, it acts as if it was in sleep mode, and boots back up with all the programs I had open still up. 

I may not know much, but Im at least 80% sure that isn't entirely normal.

MOBO: Gigabyte Z77-DS3H

CPU: i7 3770k

GPU: MSI GTX 970

Most recent changes to the system: In December I upgraded to Windows 10, and about a month ago I upgraded from my PSU and GPU. I doubt these changes are what caused the issue, but if Ive learned anything about computers, its that anything is possible. 

Any help would be appreciated.

is anyone able to offer anything actually useful? I was under the impression that this community knew something about computers...

Thanks mods

Maybe put your computer into sleep mode?
and the reason why your computer  "acts as if it was in sleep mode" is because you have hybrid sleep enabled which essentially hibernates and sleeps at the same time.

I would just use hibernate mode instead of sleep mode.

Are you twitch spammers?

 

OP: What's the PSU?

I genuinely don't know what's going on with these peeps.

Anyway, can you take a shot of the Power settings in BIOS?

Well, I was asking for the exact model, they've good and bad models

But I'd be better if you'd count those "multiple beeps"

Also are you sure it's sleep mode and not hibernation? Because if you're actually unplugging the PSU, you're wiping anything stored in RAM

 

It's fine

Sorry, all I can find is Smart 650w

Im sure its not hibernation-I disabled hibernation mode and removed the hiberfile some time ago because I was running out of space.

just checked it, 30s of beeping, 125 beeps, the 3 lower pitch beeps

I didn't actually count that high, I just hit a counter every time it beeped. Beeps are all same duration, pitch, etc for 30s, then as I said, 3 lower pitch beeps for about 1s each. Checked the cables, everything seems fine. System responds normally if I shut down or restart, it's just coming out of sleep mode that's the issue. I doubt it's W10 that's the issue, as I've had that for some time now, and the problem hasn't occurred until recently, but I could be wrong

I swapped out the psu about a month ago, 2 weeks before the problem started. I can put my old one in with igpu later and try it, but then I wouldnt be know if it was a gpu or psu issue.

 

On another note, someone seems to have had a somewhat similar problem, and determined it to be ram:

I somewhat doubt my ram is an issue, but I suppose it is possible
