Single beep every 14-15 minutes
I have an Asus Maximus X Hero motherboard. I have the latest version of
Windows 10 installed. For the last week or so, I heard a single BIOS/motherboard beep I think every 14-15 minutes, though I only starting keeping track of the time today. I have checked errors in the event viewer and have not found any errors at the specific times of the beeps. I have 2 installed Samsung SSD drives, one that I never use. I copied files to the one I do not use, and it seems to be find. Any idea as to what could be causing the beeps or how I can figure it out? |

There really should not be, as the QCode should go blank after handoff to the OS. It could be there is a SMART issue that the BIOS has picked up. Use an OS loaded on a USB key, to run the system for a test. During this time, you want at least the two SSDs disconnected so that any SMART problem cannot be observed by the BIOS code. With the SSDs disconnected, if there were no beeps, that would be a sign it was SMART related. If the BIOS is unable to parse the SMART table properly, it may arrive at a wrong conclusion. Another kind of problem is CPU overheat. When observing beeps, the frequency of the audio beep matters too. The regular BIOS beep codes will all be the same audio frequency. Abnormal codes, such as overheat, they will be at a different frequency. (In some cases, a two-tone European police car tone is used.) Some motherboards used to use a different beep for USB plugins. I would in general, not expect to find good information about beeps in the manual. Even when the manual includes tables, the tables aren't always up-to-date. My experience is, any kind of code like that, when a person posts to USENET, and I look it up, the value is in the Reserved section and is not documented. You never seem to get codes that happen to be documented. You might also want to go back to the BIOS setup screen, and go through the overclock section, and see if any of the applied voltages are in the Red zone. Some auto-overclocker features have been known to use abnormally high voltages. Paul |
