My new build wouldn't POST. The motherboard (Gigabyte X470 Ultra Gaming) lights showed that there was something wrong with the GPU. I reseated it, changed it out for an older one, and there was no change. Then I put the new GPU back in (EVGA 1080 SC) and it finally POSTs. But the way it POSTs is sketchy. The computer appears to briefly lose power for a half second and then the PC beeper does a long beep that doesn't stop. My only solution so far has been to just remove the speaker, but the way the computer turns on concerns me.

 

I'm sure I should be concerned and would like a solution so that the computer will behave normally. This is the second system I've basically gone through due to being extremely unlucky with the parts I've ordered. And at this point I'm tempted to just return everything and just live in a cave in the woods...

I've actually tried 2 different beep speakers. I had one from my previous build. Same problem. So the beeper doesn't seem to be the issue.

maybe that beep is just to notify u the gpu is not rnning at its native pci-e speeds or smt who knows

Any idea how to test this specifically? Since it does POST I was able to get into Windows and run Heaven Benchmark for a while and it seemed fine.

AFAIK Gigabyte codes (at least on my B85 one) that means that there aren't case fans in a case if you configure it, or that there isn't a CPU cooler.

 

For POST code that mean PSU error

The faulty PSU seems most likely. The BIOS detects all my fans and they all run. I guess I have to do an RMA on the PSU AGAIN. This is the second faulty PSU. I swear reviews mean nothing when you have absolutely awful luck.

Wait, I misread. This is only for short repeating beeps.

 

According to GIGABYTE's website on AWARD BIOS it mean RAM issue with the beep code not existing in AMI.
