Hey

So i have a fairly new PC it all runs fine . But sometimes after i've been playing games for a while a continuous loud alarm/beeping noise comes from the motherboard I think or GPU dunno if they have alarms or not?. I've checked all my temps like cpu and they seem fine. Whilst its beeping I can still game do anything on the PC really. To stop it if I shut the PC down and turn it back on its seems to be fine again. The room temp was fine cause I had aircon going. I've gone into the BIOS into PC Health status and all alarms are disabled.

I dont know where else to check or what should I do. When I looked in the case it seemed like all fans were running fine still.

My specs are:
Intel Skylake i7-6700K
GA-Z170X-Gaming 5
Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
8G GTX 1080 Gigabyte Gaming G1
Corsair H80I V2
Corsair Graphite 780T Black
eVGA 650W 80 Plus Gold, OCP / OPP / OVP / SCP Protection, 135mm fan, ATX
G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GTZB DUAL CHANNEL: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz [TridentZ] 1.35V

Thanks
 
Check the error code on the mobo leds.
If it doesnt have an led code, confirm the beep pattern, this is a code indicating the problem.
 
It does have an LED code.. i seen it last night but didnt take note of it :( so will have to wait until it happens again. the beep pattern is just constant doesn't stop at all. no short beeps or anything. But thannks heaps that will get me a step further I've also checked the manual and looking at the debug codes now. Ill report back later when I find out what it is.
 
Hey the error code im getting is 04 , I checked the motherboard manual but there is no 04 debug code? anyhelp thanks.. it happened again and it then had A0 on the LED .. manual says "IDE initialization process"

probably the Code is D4 that's more or less typical on Gigabyte boards the D4 and 04 is easily misinterpreted. I would start by performing a CMOS reset... unplug the machine from the Wall, be sure you are properly grounded to avoid any ESD and remove the CMOS battery, REMOVE all the RAM sticks and Reseat it again, press power button couple of times to force all capacitors to discharge entirely, put the battery on again, connect the PSU to the wall, and boot up your machine.. that should help, report back.
 
Hey it seems to be all sorted hasn't occurred again. Thanks for your help guys much appreciated!
