4 BEEPs when starting ( one long beep, and 3 quick ones) please help

[KUBZ]

Hi I've just recently purchase a pc made by pc specialist, and I had to downgrade it to windows 10 because I prefer win 10 to 11, but since then every time I start it now does these 4 beeps and also my games now start to crash after playing for a while, I don't know what to do?

And the rest?

Can you upload a screenshot of your optional windows updates page?

ive updated the pc with the optional updates but now i cant find that page anymore and the pc is still making that noise, and now it has started crashing when playing call of duty, i dont know if this is related to the issue or because of the new update.

It's possibly a false positive which is common on some boards.

If you power on the monitor before powering on the computer, ie wake it from sleep, the beeps may stop.

It's because modern monitors send a constant return code to the computer even if they're in sleep just to say "I'm here". Some boards incorrectly mandate that code being present which on older monitors it won't be, as such the motherboard incorrectly thinks "there's no monitor return code, hence the GPU must have failed" so give a long beep followed by 3 short which is a GPU error.

Ahh I see that makes sense as I have just bought the new Samsung G7 Neo 28 monitor, which takes some time to detect a signal whereas my my old monitor I never had this issue, ill try switching to my old monitor just to test if it makes any differance.
