i have beeping issues in my geraphic card (1long beep and 3 short beep)

[Oyensorta]

Hi everyone,

I've had this setup for 3 years now:

• MB: H310 R R2.0
• CPU: i59400f
• GPU: 1650 Dual
• Power: 580w EUD green
• RAM: 16g

I've never had any issues with this system, even with the problem I'm about to describe.

About a week ago, I upgraded my graphics card to a 6700xt Sapphire Pulse. When I installed it, the graphics card fans started spinning, but after a beep from the motherboard (one long beep followed by three short beeps), I didn't get any display.

I tried everything to fix it but couldn't. I took the card and my system to a technician, and they were able to get a display by making changes to the motherboard's BIOS.

After getting a display and installing the drivers, everything worked perfectly, including games, without any temperature or FPS issues.

However, the problem is that when I shut down the system for an extended period, like overnight, and turn it on again in the morning, the beeping issue and no display problem return. The difference is that after the beeps, the system automatically restarts and boots up with a display.

I don't know what the problem is. I've tried disabling CSM in the BIOS, changing boot options, and even updating the BIOS, but this issue keeps happening. I have no idea what's causing it.

That PSU sounds pretty worrying. Never heard of that brand before. Does everything work with your old GTX 1650?

If long periods of being turned off cause issues I would suspect the CMOS battery might be (near) dead. Try replacing it with a fresh one.

Do the battery then psu then motherboard

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I was swamped with exams. Anyway, my problem's still there. This PSU is a local brand, and it's been great with my 1650-no issues gaming or screencapping. It's just this one thing that's bugging me.

I've tried other cards in the same slot, and they were fine. So, it looks like this card is the one making that annoying beep. But the weird thing is, it works perfectly for hours, no display issues at all. So, I'm not sure if the card is actually broken. Anyway, I've already done what you said to do.

I'm unable to comprehend your statement. If you're proposing that I replace the components, I suspect the battery may the root cause. Nevertheless, I concur with your assessment regarding the motherboard and power supply. The only definitive method to diagnose the problem is to replace these components. Although they have functioned satisfactorily, I am apprehensive due to numerous online reports of individuals experiencing similar issues with AMD graphics cards, and they were unable to resolve the problem.

The CMOS battery is a CR2032 size battery. About the size of a quarter, it should be easy to spot on the MB. Get a new one at a local store in your area and install it. The CMOS battery is pretty easy to swap out. Just power off the system, swap batteries.

The downside here is, once you do this the BIOS will default to the original settings. You'll have to redo all the changes in the BIOS that the technician made.

I realized I made a mistake in my previous message. I replaced the battery you mentioned, and the issue persists. I even tried using a jumper, but it didn't work. And here's something strange: I've reset the settings that the technician made several times, but the problem isn't the same as before. It's not like I'm always getting no image; it's more like what I'm experiencing now! My problems are completely bizarre and inexplicable

So it is ok with a 120w GPU, the 6700xt is a different beast and can see spikes up to 320w which I would be willing to bet this obscure brand of PSU is not able to deal with effectively, go back to the 1650 or change the PSU for a quality unit

Yes, you are right But mostly, I want to understand the motherboard beeping problem, and do you think it has something to do with power? Because we don't see any problems or blackouts in the game due to power

I'm unable to comprehend your statement.

What he means is, replace the battery first, then replace the power supply and then the motherboard. But I think you need to update the motherboards BIOS to get the NO VGA beeps to stop.

Link to the latest BIOS.

As for the power supply, it looks like a decent unit, but it is on the low side for a 6700XT, you should look down the road and replace it with a 650W unit when you can.

I think the power and motherboard should be changed It did not affect the battery that I have done But again, I will say whether the high wattage power in the initial boot is related to the problem of beeping or booting the graphics image or not, because this power has not had such a problem with beeping on 1080, 1650, and rx580, but only on this card model.
Let me also say that the BIOS is the same as the version you gave

Award Bios 1 long 3 short is no video card or VRam failure.
But being an Asus 1 long 3 short on American Megatrends Inc (AMI) is Memory error above 64k.

I would do all suggested above, but also re-seat the memory or try only 1 stick for testing.
Some older motherboards don't like big power draw at the PCI-E slot at start up either.

If you can find money for a 6700XT, then you should consider getting a more modern setup honestly. You'll have less issues with modern UEFI cards.

Don't mind those 2 pennies. Just some thoughts.

GL!!

It looks like you have a plan, and I would guess you are correct on the supply, and I would change that out first and see if that fixes it. If you plan on changing the motherboard, I would move to the AM4 or Intell 1700 socket platform in DDR4 to keep costs down.

In short, your suggestion is that I should change the motherboard and PSU?

 

[DaemonForce]

My suggestion is change the power supply for something ultra high power: 62A rail and higher.

 

[Oyensorta]

Thank you very much to all of you who helped me, so I think I should upgrade the PSU first and then the motherboard to newer generations, my motherboard is really weak!
We just want to give one more possibility that this problem I have is not due to graphics failure. right?
I am asking for this because when the graphics is booted, there is a problem with the performance and you can use it for hours in the game and full load.
