P67 Extreme6 Beeping on Startup/Temp Alert

I totally cleaned the dust off everything on the computer, I usually do it once a month but i ran out of Contact Cleaner Spray to clean the PCIE2 Slot of my motherboard so I dont think its related to dust/cleaning.

I use a thin brush to clean the fan and a vacummer for everything else. Also an eraser to wipe the contacts clean, unless its a slot where the eraser would be unreachable, what is the situation of my PCIE2 Slot. Everything else is clean.

Hello Xaltar, thanks for your reply and suggestions! 

The beeping starts as soon as I press the power button, so there is no specific code that triggers the beeping. 

I cleaned and reseated the CPU when I checked on Dr Debug yesterday since I had to re-apply a bit of Thermal Grease on it. Im not sure if its the PSU since I recall having an old PSU running on the same Motherboard and the beeps being the same as they are today.

Ill try your screwdriver method lol, but anyway the video is uploaded so you guys can know exactly how the beeping sounds like.

I didnt see the Thanks button since im new on the forum, ill make sure to thank you guys for the effort trying to solve my problem

If it is before or after the display of codes, please say so. IF we assume the longest displayed code MIGHT be the problem, that being 64, that is the wonderfully ambiguous chipset initialization error. The generic cure for that is clear the CMOS/BIOS, which I suggested in general earlier. No video of the POST codes is necessary, since you are not getting a fatal error during POST, which stops with the code of the process being run. Your reply to my question about clearing the BIOS/CMOS (you don't know how to do that) means the only time anything like that happened is when you did any BIOS updates. Any time you add or change major hardware, like a CPU, memory (or just changing the memory slots used), video card, or even change the connection of drives in the SATA ports, you really should clear the BIOS. Otherwise data in the BIOS becomes confused and can cause problems.

Yep its seated on the PCIE4 slot. 

On the video I uploaded I had it seated on the PCIE2 slot, but for some reason it wasnt being recognized by the system. Since i have always used it on the PCIE4 slot, I suppose the PCIE2 slot is dirty/dusty since it was exposed during all that time, but ill try placing it back on PCIE2 once I get a Contact Cleaner Spray to clean it.

I didnt know there was a difference between the PCIE4 and PCIE2 slots, since I always used my Video Card on 4. 

Well, I never had any issues with the Geil memory sticks other than malfunctions due to dust, which were solved with an eraser wipe on the contacts.   

Ill try cleaning the CMOS following the directions you gave me and as soon as I can ill post the updates here. Thanks once again for your help! 

That is genius 

My mother in law used to be a doctor so I have the benefit of an old stethoscope for situations like this but a screwdriver resonating will do the job nicely. 

I am leaning toward PSU too but if the beeping isn't coming from the post speaker then a hard disk having trouble spinning up and initializing could also be the culprit, I have heard mechanical drives make all kinds of weird sounds when they are starting to go bad so that is a good point too.

It is easy enough to eliminate the HDDs, just disconnect them from your board and the PSU and see if you still get beeps.
