Help with strange beep code!

[micahjones]

Ok well I thought I killed my CPU, but then as a last ditch effort, I tried a different case speaker, thinking maybe I wasnt getting beeps because mine was dead. Well, I was right about that. The beep code I am getting is not in the manual though. To me, it sounds like 3 long, then a slight pause, then 6 long and one short. Anyone know what this could mean? The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2.

the beeps are sent from the bios on any motherboard so i googled your motherboard, which took me to the gigabyte website, went to the bios of it and it is running award bios. so then i googled award bios beep codes and found this site

go to the award bit and apparently it is RAM issue. however because it also says "However, because of the wide variety of different computer manufacturers with this BIOS, the beep codes may vary." i think that may be the case, not the RAM.

Try changeing RAM first, see if that is what is up, although i doubt it from what you have said, see what comes up.

If nothing then i would call gigabyte and ask em
