new Gigabyte motherboard beeps continuously

**forbirun** · 13-07-16, 02:17 AM

pls need some advice. ok so older 1150 socket board with i7 processor beeped continuously. Took out everything as you can see from video.
I had bought new mother board from msy but it gave the Same beep sound! I bought new cpu and still same sound.
Took in to computer shop in town, Said it was cpu. I took the new tower with new Motherboard and old cpu. He had for 3 days.
I had replaced many pwer supplys, the only thing the same in the end was the 8GB-PC3-12800-DDR3-1600-Computer-RAM.
I didn't notice anything wrong on older board but new board which computer shop didn't mention was a slight difference where the cpu is seated. Is it normal?

2 motherboards in question
old mb

New mother board

Old cpu

New cpu is a i5.

I have to assume the computer shop i went to get second opinion didn't really look at the new motherboard which is ironic cause he was happy to take money off me and blamed the cpu.
Any advice here would be grateful
Thanks forbirun

can you swap ram? i would think that is the cause
also, comparing the boards, are they the same in that marked area? or are they bent pins
( i wrecked 2 new boards once, as not intel fan & let my son put cpu's in without realizing those pins are on the boards NOT the cpu as in amd or old intels)
check gigabyte mb site for cpu compat? = yep i7-4790

& clear cmos
but it probably the ram

**Philquad** · 13-07-16, 12:21 PM

after carefully studying your pic & another
i have come to the conclusion that the pins are bent
easily done
hence why amd is superior to intel crap lol

when you have beep codes,they are there to indicate what the cause is

you can always check what they are telling you here

**forbirun** · 13-07-16, 11:31 PM

lol yea AMD is like owning a holden isnt it? :-) Thanks Phil. And yes carefully zoom in on picks I think you mean Cheers for that

Never come across bent pins b4 though. Funny thing is I dont recall how it could have happen. I'll have to return it next week.
Thanks for the advice mate. Much appreciated

You can prob straighten the pins. I have done it successfully on many an old cpu.
Just use a magnifying glass and lever them with a thin bladed knife like an Olfa knife.
You will then need to check that they spring up and down without binding.

**Philquad** · 14-07-16, 02:32 PM

im not saying your wrong but is there a chance you did it when putting cpu in?
its easily done with those boards
you may find msy wont take responsibility for it
maybe you can straighten them
not as easy to do as the old cpu's that have pins like loo loo says

**forbirun** · 18-07-16, 11:51 AM

I might give it a look tonight Phil. Down in Eden atm seeing family. Thanks for the idea. Had an idea this was possible but was worried about warranty that all.

**forbirun** · 20-07-16, 01:05 AM

ok so didnt like the idea of fiddling with the pins. I replaced the motherboard and still the same issue.
I have 2 power supplies almost identical. The beeps indicate that its a power supply. All the psu work with my am2 quad core system. Is it still possible that the psu units are in compatible? (psu in video)

**mtv** · 20-07-16, 01:08 AM

Have you tried different ram?

**dai** · 20-07-16, 02:00 AM

make and model of the psu's

try it with only 1 stick of ram in,if it is the same try the other stick

when inserting the ram the clips clicking over does not mean it is seated properly

**sergei** · 20-07-16, 03:43 AM

Can you get into bios?
Do the beeps stop or you have to reset it to turn them of
Have you tried to get into bios by just using vid card and cpu - no ram needed or hdd

If can get into bios what brand is it and then find the error codes to match from chart on manufacturers site or just net

Have you even tried starting it without anything except the cpu and see if it still makes that sound? then work you way up

**dai** · 20-07-16, 03:56 AM

i think you will find there will be no post without ram,so no entry into the bios

**forbirun** · 20-07-16, 03:26 PM

That's wright Dai no bios as no display. I only have 1 stick. 3 different power supplies. Look at video. Power supply can be seen but also beeps can be heard. Beeps about 20 odd times then stops as does cpu fan. Then fan starts and beeps straight after it. I have taken ram out, but still same beeps. Have tried mobo in box and out of box.

That suggests it may be a ram fault.

**Philquad** · 20-07-16, 04:05 PM

i think you need more ram & less power supplies

**forbirun** · 20-07-16, 04:17 PM

I thought faulty ram was slow long continual beep?

depends on the bios

sounds like short continuous beeps to me
award bios

**dai** · 20-07-16, 08:18 PM

this is what you posted earlier

]beeped continuously. Took out everything as you can see from video.
I had bought new mother board from msy but it gave the Same beep sound![

then you posted this

[Beeps about 20 odd times then stops as does cpu fan. Then fan starts and beeps straight after it.]

it sounds like the cpu is overheating

reason is usually the paste has not been applied correctly,or not seated correctly

what bios is on the board i am assuming it is a award bios

**forbirun** · 20-07-16, 11:05 PM

Thats all I can find on my motherboard info. Don't mean to sound stupid but how do u identify the bios on these new boards? I dont see it printed anywhere..
