5 short beeps at H97 Anniversary

Please let me know the beep codes for this particular model of motherboards.

If the BIOS is from American Megatrends, then 5 short beeps may be processor failure.

But on forums I read it could be "GPU not detected" for ASRock.

The processor ??Xeon E3 1270 v3 3.5 GHz ??has no built in GPU comodule, so I understand an external video card is required.

The fan of the GPU is spinning.

I will test this videocard in another system.

The 5 short beeps indicates the system has completed POST and is simply unable to
output a display. This means that the PSU is providing enough power to power up
the board and CPU.

If the PSU is providing insufficient power to initialize the GPU however, that
could be the problem. The board will function just fine with a single 4pin power
connector but generally speaking, most PSUs that only provide a single 4 pin CPU
power connector are weak, either very old models with weak 12v rails or cheap and
nasty budget PSUs.

That said, your beep code indicates a successful POST as I said above so it may
not be the cause. Try a different display output from the GPU and a different cable
if you have one. Often 5 short beeps is simply the board not detecting your
monitor.

If your GPU is old, particularly an old server grade GPU (Quadro/Firepro) it may
be incompatible with your motherboard, even if it works in a different system
(with an older board).
