there is no bull guard anymore tho

It's likely just a false positive from the motherboard.

Try powering on the monitor before turning on the PC, if the beeps go, it's a bug on Asus motherboards that incorrectly assumes a GPU fault at boot if it's not getting a signal from the monitor.

 

[Shaun4321]

is it something i should be worried about like i say its probably only once in every 10 start ups

is it something i should be worried about like i say its probably only once in every 10 start ups

Have you verified that's the issue?

 

[Shaun4321]

i always have the monitor on before turning the pc on and it will still beep 3 times

 

[SpyderTracks]

i always have the monitor on before turning the pc on and it will still beep 3 times

When you say on, I mean not in sleep, so you have to press the power on button to wake it before powering on the pc.

 

[Shaun4321]

Yeah sorry i always turn on by the button then switch on the pc i have autism so have weird routines lol

 

[coolbeans2me]

Does your mobo make these beeps by any chance?

 

[coolbeans2me]

If it's different here is the FAQ listing what the error beeps mean:

[Shaun4321]

yeah thats what mine does

 

[coolbeans2me]

Then you may have the same problem I have. What monitor do you have? I take it after those beeps it still manages to turn on without you having to press the power button again? It just pops up with the Windows sign in screen? I have a Samsung Odyssey G7 and it takes a while to turn on when it detects a video signal from my gpu. Same thing happened with my old system. I got no Mobo beeps but I could never get the bios to boot because my monitor wouldn't start up in time. I find that If I keep fiddling around with the menu screen to keep my monitor from going into standby while I turn on my PC the beeps don't occur.

 

[Shaun4321]

I also have the g7 it beeps 3 times then just starts up normally it’s so weird lol

 

[SpyderTracks]

When you say on, I mean not in sleep, so you have to press the power on button to wake it before powering on the pc.

As said, it's not an issue, it's a false reading from the motherboard not detecting a monitor signal at boot.

If you make sure the monitor is fully awake before boot it likely won't happen.

It's a bug on most Asus boards.

My pc does that here and there too. I dont think it is anything bad. Had my pc for half a year now, zero issues. More than likely false positive for gpu signal

 

[coolbeans2me]

When we turn on the PC the mobo is communicating with the CPU, GPU and RAM. The GPU is waiting for a repsonse from your monitor but since the G7 takes a few seconds to wake up and get to work the GPU just doesn't do anything. The Motherboard is confused and thinks "Hey whats the hold up?" and thinks something is up with the GPU hence the error code beeps for a GPU error. But by then the monitor has woken up from it's groggy sleep and is now talking to the GPU. GPU is like "Finally I can get to work" and everything carries on like normal. So yeah Spydertracks is right we are just getting a false positive. Nothing to worry about
