Beeping computer

[HavocXphere]

My PC occasionally beeps. I have zero idea whats causing it.

The weird thing is I've removed the built in PC speaker thing that usually makes the beeps, so something else is beeping.

Any ideas which other components could have the ability to beep.

Corsair PSU, Asrock mobo, ocz ssd, seagate HDDs.

I thinking its the PSU or the mobo...though why either of them would beep is beyond me (PC runs just fine).

Haha nice. But not in this case. Home PC which nobody has touched since I assembled it.

Interesting thread title ,thought u were swearing at your PC

... I'll be sure to follow this and see what the cause of the 'beeping' is.

It's probably the motherboard, they have these tiny speakers fitted onto them these days so they don't need the normal PC speaker anymore

identify beeps + google

If you have the mobo manual that decodes them even better.

I see. Well thats annoying. This mobo has an LCD display so I don't quite see the need, but at least it explains the noise.

Thanks for clearing it up anyway.

@swa: These are single beeps out of the blue, not boot sequence coded beeps.

My rampage 4 & assassin 2 did the same thing. Single beep long after the PC's already started up. updated the bios on the assassin last night & I didn't hear any beep so far. Will just wait & see

Could be caused by usb device connecting/disconnecting.

Check if the board doesn't perhaps have a piezzo buzzer on it

Ah, software causing it then. Try rolling back or removing anything that you added since around the first time you heard the beeps.

UPDATE

Checked the event viewer shortly after it happened.

Service Control Manager: The Application Experience service entered the running state.

The mention of diagperf is interesting. I think it might be connected to bitcoin mining + undervolted & underclocked GFX. Didn't see a gfx reset though...
