Hi all.
I have a custom system. The motherboard is an Asus Sabertooth X79.
From a cold boot, I heard the "normal" one beep post. The Windows 10 logo appears on-screen as the OS begins to load, but....
I hear this pattern of 5 short beeps in a row; there will be a pause, then, 5 short beeps in a row.
This continued for a bit even after I logged in and reached my desktop; 5 short beeps in a row. It finally stopped.
Yes, I have the manual for my Asus motherboard, but no, this one successful system beep, but then a pattern of 5 short beeps while the OS loads is not in the manual.
According to my manual, if there's, say, one continuous beep followed by two short beeps, then there's a memory problem.
But has anyone heard of a pattern of 5 short beeps that continues even as the OS loads and gets to desktop?
On a quick 'Net search, I did come across something where someone experienced something similar, but they had a Dell product. The suggestion was to replace the CMOS battery, and that did the trick for them.
What do you think? CMOS battery? It's not like those little batteries are expensive
But can you think of anything else?
