I built a pc reciently and it runs fast as ever. The only problem with it is that it sometimes throws a code. It throws the code mainly at boot and it is a very long code. it is one steady beep lasting a few seconds and it continues to do so past windows being loaded. Everything works fine on the pc except for this annoying code. It eventually stops. Just recently it did it while the pc was idol. Gigabyte hasnt responded to me and i only got a few days left to return any hardware. The mobo is a GA-M61P-S3
hAS 2 GIG OF G-Skill ram ddr2800 sata2 drive and sata dvd burner. It is Am2 with a 4800+ dual core. Anyone has any sugestions please  help.

My guess is the bios is just wack and i hope that what it is. I have tried replaceing the ram dims in various styles still does it. Tried even 1 stick. Everything on the pc is brand new put together by me. I have never had any problems with stuff i made. All drivers are off the cd.

Somebody help please

One long beep is not a bios code. Bios codes are short and more then one. Also the computer wont function when there is bios codes. This is something else. Make sure everything is configured in the bios correctly. and everything is plugged in correctly.

It is one long beep that continues during the boot into windows even. Then it starts over again. Does this about 7 times or so. Sometimes does this wehn idol but the pc works fine just the sound. The sound comes directly from the motherboard. Everything had been plugged in back again. If it was a cord i would think it wouldnt work at all.

Ok i think i need to clarify this. By beep i mean a long sound that does not acually sound like a beep more of a buzz but it is a sound produced by the motherboard. kinda like a hum but it is electronic not hardware noise as in somthing failing but a deffinate sound produced by a machine. The "beep" lasts for at least 3-5 seconds then starts over. It is a continuis beep that has no pauses unlike bios beep codes. They sound differant then this.

Yea im pretty sure its not the hd i have herd those sounds many times. This is an electronically produced sound. Sorry for not being clear kinda hard to explain.

Cold this possibly be a faulty CPU fan?  I have had several fan make " tone " sounding noises when the bearings are bad. Even though it may be new, Sometimes there still defective. In fact, I have a USB HDD enclosure that has had a bad fan from the day I turned it on. Once it warms up, it quiets down.

 In the BIOS , of many MB's there are settings for tempurature settings" .   If you have these settings, then it could be that you are running a bit hot, if you are clocking, or the temp warning  threshold is not tuned properly. This could cause a bios code . Kind of sounds like morse code. Made me think when you said this happens @ idle as well.  But it sure sounds like a fan , from what you explain.

Ok this time i figured it out partially. I dont know why but last time the cpu fan was on this time it was not. Maken me think that it is either a power problem. But most likely not. A fan problem. If that was the case noises wuld be happening. or a mobo problem. My guess is it is a setting someware any help or suggestions?
