Hi folks, I built a new system based on the ASRock X670E PG Lightning and everything works as expected. But regularly when I turn it on I get 4 short beeps, although the system boots as expected. Things I tried already: - Turning off XMP - Running memtest86 (no errors) - Switching to only 1 Ram slot. Switching different slot combinations - resetting CMOS - Updating BIOS I really don't know what else to try. Since it doesn't seem affect the functionality it is mainly annoying, but I would like to get rid of it. Thanks for your help Full build: ASRock X670E PG Lightning AMD X670E So.AM5 Dual Channel DDR5 ATX Retail AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8x 4.20GHz So.AM5 WOF 32GB (2x 16GB) G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB silber DDR5-6400 DIMM CL32-39-39-102 Dual Kit 2TB Corsair Force Series MP600 Pro XT M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 3D-NAND TLC (CSSD-F2000GBMP600PXT) Inno3D Geforce GTX 1080 |

| Now it even beeped 5 times. Is there a way to read an error log for those codes? |

Those quick beeps typically mean the system didn't detect the display right away. It isn't an issue, some displays take a while to switch from standby to on and if the system is checking during the switch it won't find a display connected. Modern boards are all designed to detect and use a display that is connected at any time so it isn't a problem, as soon as the display registers the system will just continue as normal. The beeping can happen for a number of reasons, it is only cause for concern when you have no display being outputted at all. The beeps will cut off immediately when a display is detected so that is why you can get anything from 1 beep to 5 (5 being the no display detected code). If the display is detected on 2 it will stop beeping there or 3 or 4 etc. Hope this helps. -------------

That is very helpful, thanks for taking the time. I read some hints in other places to this explanation and was assuming this may be the case. It would of course be great if asrock had these topics documented :) |
