5 Beeps Gigabyte board

[SamuelJE]

Hi,

I'm having issues with the gigabyte H310M S2H. it's beeping 5 times shortly, but not quickly. I've replaced RAM, removed GPU, and re set CPU. I've also cleared the CMOS. Things are pointing towards a CPU or MOBO fault. Anyone got any ideas? Or had similar issues? Any help would be appreciated

Yes of course. But the chances of it being a CPU fault are miniscule. Any ideas apart from that possiblity?

im leaning towards board fault, since going by that list and what youve said it looks like an RTC error, usually caused by bad board battery from my experience

Ok cool, I tried a different display and it is booting fine now. Very strange. will continue to diagnose.

Turns out this motherboard will give a cpu error warning if a display is not attached or a display cable is damaged, and prevent boot. Found it deep in reddit. It has been reported to Gigabyte a number of times and nothing has come of it. So the more yah know I guess.

Idk if you will ever see this reply, but I cannot thank you enough for this tip. I've been banging my head for the last week over this.

Two different processors, two different motherboards from gigabyte, I've read voltages, reset cmos, reseated ram, reseated the cpu idk how many times! 5 beeps everytime! Which according to gigabyte is a cpu error..... I switched display cables and boom, up and running. You've got to be kidding me.

So I had the same issues. Looked around at a few places. It seems the 5 beeps can be caused by a few things.  I was running a Gigabyte H310M-H-2.0.

Tried - New HDMI Cable
Tried - New Monitor

Tried - Running 2 differant VGA

Tried - New CMOS Battery

Tried - New Ram

Tried - Removing all non crucial parts

 

 

None of this worked. But others have had success with the above things. So don't rule them out if you have this issue.

 

- Some people removed their RAM and ran the pc without RAM. Restarted with RAM in and worked fine.

- Some also had the error ONLY happen when a GPU was present. When they removed this the error stopped.

 

I had this error with NO GPU, I added a $40 GPU and boom...error gone and booted fine.

Made an account just to put this info on the net...seems as though some people are spending days/weeks trying to get to this point. Hope this helps.

looks like you got a solution

was going to say I had a similar problem where in it was actually the display cable, it would work fine on one display but not others (likely from resolution difference) and I was going nuts until I just used a different cable and figured out why later

I recently upgraded my system from an intel celeron g4900 3.1ghz, from 4 to 8 gb ram and from gt 710 1gb gddr4 to a gtx 1650 4gb gbbd5 oc edition. I have an old monitor with only vga and dvi ports so i biught a hdmi to vga adaptor for it. This problem occyrs everytime i move the case. This  really made me feel great coz i thought theres something broke with my components. I got no more more money too even repair it. Im 15 btw. :))

*FIXED* So guys, i finally fixed my problem. I have gigabyte z390 gaming sli motherboard with i9 9900k and some liquid cooling for processor. Seems that my problem was my cooler water pump was not connected with current. Somehow it was disconnected by accident.

Fixed. 5 beeps only with GPU.
I changed HDMI cable and my PC case.

My old PC case was one of the cheapest when I bought and after trade my GPU I noted that the video card was a little undocked.

After try a lot of solutions, I removed all parts and mount the parts outside the case. Worked.
