There are a number of reasons a system might beep more than once but still complete
POST and boot normally. In every instance it is some part of the POST process that took longer than the system expected. Basically, the system begins to beep a POST code, then that code clears and POST continues. Typically it's either a display taking a bit too long to reply to the system, this can cause more than 2 beeps depending on the length of the delay, or an XMP/EXPO profile that takes longer than it should to pass POST testing. Another thing I have seen cause multiple beeps is an old, dying or slow mechanical HDD though this is rare these days. In all cases it is only a problem if it starts happening out of nowhere where previously it did not. By out of nowhere I mean no changes to the system, including displays, display cables, BIOS updates etc. In cases where the issue existed from the first power on there isn't any cause for concern. It just means POST was going too fast for one of your components. In other words, it's only cause for concern if it is a new symptom. |

Thanks for that. It has done it since I built the Steel Legend Wi-Fi new with all new components.
My searching here and online suggests it could also be a DRAM parity issue. I have tested the DRAM with Microsoft's app and with Prime 95 large FFTs so the CPU/DRAM are stressed at 100%. There were zero errors. I have confirmed that the memory sticks are in the correct A2 and B2 per the User's Manual. I've also tested at the default 4800 MHz and the EXPO 6000 MHz settings. The system boots with two beeps in all cases. Perhaps this is the struggle Asrock has been experiencing with BIOS settings for the DDR5 based mobos? I would have thought this would have been resolved by now as I know Asrock has listed numerous DRAM compatibility upgrades over the various BIOS updates. |

As I said, unless it's something new that popped up it isn't cause for concern.
So long as the system boots reliably and there is no instability I wouldn't worry about it. DDR5 is still fairly new, DDR4 was way more problematic at a comparative phase. Enjoy your build, no doubt a BIOS update will clear up the extra beep at some point
