g1 sniper a88x beep codes?

[mickeyfn19]

i recently built a new gaming rig (apu based) and i keep randomly getting random beeps. dont suppose anyone else is having this problem or someone has the beep codes?

mickeyfn19,
You need to post all your spec's for us to help you especially the mobo spec's. If you got to the mobo mfgr's site and download the mobo manual you can look up the beep codes and that should help tons.

sorry about that, g1 sniper a88x mobo, amd a10 6800k cpu, teamgroup extreme 2400mhz RAM, corsair force ls 60 gb ssd and a corsair cx 500w psu. and will the online manual be any different from the one they provided with the mobo?

Could you fill in your System Specs in the settings of SF to show future members on this thread the specs?

 

[mickeyfn19]

there we are, all filled out.

 

[mickeyfn19]

just checked the online manual, no beep codes. ive sent an email to gigabyte asking them if they can help me out. lets just hope

Mickey,
Your right I downloaded and skimmed the manual and not one reference to any beep codes.

What bios is installed and then look to find info here?

But this mobo has uefi. I thought uefi has a different POST. Does the beeping happen when booting or when the os is loaded?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

It sounds like it could be beeping after the boot which is a whole new realm for me ! I'm hoping I'm wrong and the beeps are at boot.

 

[mickeyfn19]

nope, i do get standard beeps at boot and then when its all fired up it randomly starts beeping away. could it be down to me putting too fast memory in? mobo supports 2133mhz i have 2400mhz, althopugh i thought it would just get dragged down by the mobo? i checked the manual to see if i put them in the right dimm slots and yes they are in the right ones.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Mickey you may have 2400 in and it may support 2133 but unless you overclocked the ram you likely have very expensive 1333 or 1600 speeds at the moment.

 

[mickeyfn19]

please explain. i think i understand what your saying but please do elaborate.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

What speed is your ram actually showing? Please use this or many other good free programs for this info.

CPU-Z CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting

 

[Computer0304]

Do you have any hardware diagnostics software like CoreTemp? If you do, they might be what is making the beeps. These software usally have alarms for temperature and other things.

 

[mickeyfn19]

i had core temp but got rid. after uninstall it still beeps away.

what am i looking at here, nb freq or dram freq. dram is at 1064.7 after turning it up to 2400mhz in bios and nb freq is at 1497.3mhz after turning up in bios

 

[linnemeyerhere]

So your ram is running at 2133mhz or trying to and that's very good if stable? Getting the full speed levels out of ram can take some time and will have limits related to mobo and cpu and other factors.

 

[mickeyfn19]

yes, was a little miffed at first as cpuz said it was running at 1066. then i was told i needed to multiply by 2 as it is dual channel. so pretty please with that. i emailed gigabyte a few days ago and i just got a reply. they said "Dear Sir,

Does the system POST or boot up?

If not please try to reset the CMOS -
1) Disconnect the power cord from the power supply. Remove the CMOS battery (the flat silver disk) from the motherboard using a srew drive or similar implement. Leave it out for a minute or two, then replace it and power on the system. The BIOS settings should have been reset, allowing the computer to boot.
2) Go into the BIOS - “Load optimized default”
3) Save settings and exit.

do you guys reckon i should give that a go. i wouldnt think that would make any difference as i was running to completely stock, i hadnt tampered with the bios when i was getting the beeps.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Removing the battery will just return any changes like the ones for the ram you just made back to factory stock levels. If you don't mind feeling your way carefully around the bios and changing the ram speed back then go for it.

 

[mickeyfn19]

fair enough. the ram was just a case of turning it up from 1333 to 2400
