Whenever i turn on my computer, i get REALLY close to the front of my case and i hear 5 quiet beeps.

I was wondering if that is an error code or is just the computer turning on.

I called gigabyte and they reassured me those 5 quiet beeps is not an Award Bios error code. They told me to take out my sticks of ram and then turn the computer on.
I did this and i heard Loud beeps.

So there is 2 types of beeps going on. The loud beeps is Gigabyte's Award Bios error code and the quiet beeps are?

Thanks for your help.

Does your computer make a couple Quiet beeps when you turn it on?
 
if your comp works fine then i wouldnt worry about it, maybe its interference from a component(psu) or something
 
Is it the same kind of beep as the error beeps, but quiet? or is it more like a whine? Because many components (drives and PSUs mostly) can make very high pitched whining that's damn annoying

dandragonrage: Sounds like an error beep. I have a subwoofer in my home stereo setup and when i disconnect the subwoofer, you hear a whine.
Any more replies? :)
 
Aren't you just chasing shadows now?

You need to figure out where the beep is coming from, and if it's really there at all. Unplug the speakers. Still hear it? And so on.
