You should be able to set the test PSU next to the case and swap the power leads without removing the old PSU. If you can find or borrow a good power supply (450W or more?) then you can test this easily.
But, if the video card draws a lot of current and the power supply is inadequate, perhaps it could mimic a CPU failure. If it works without the video card, it seems very, very unlikely that there is something wrong with the CPU, despite 5 beeps meaning a CPU problem. What Keith and 2300 Peterw said makes a lot of sense. I have also disabled the integrated graphics in the Gigabyte BIOS to no avail. But as I said, the beeps only happen when the video card is plugged into the motherboard.Įdit: The CPU is an Intel 10th Gen i5-10400 LGA1200 (not over clocking) and the PSU is EVGA 650 B5 (650W Bronze). I am really struggling to find the answer.Īm I able to use this Asus graphics card on this Gigabyte motherboard? ie: Is it compatible? Did I do something wrong in the BIOS? Is the CMOS battery bad? Is the video card faulty and need returned?įYI: It's not a RAM issue as I already re-seated the RAM so I have ruled that out. I have been out of the IT field for several years as I now work on cars. When I remove the graphics card the PC functions normally and will boot into Windows without further issue.
My laptop beeps when i turn it on install#
If I install the video card in either of the two PCI-E slots, the PC will beep 5 short times. The video card is an Asus GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB. I noticed that the PC beeps only when I have the video card installed. It will not boot into Windows after the 5 beeps. I have a Gigabyte B460 HD3 motherboard that will produce an audible noise of 5 short beeps upon startup.
