Motherboard had a beeping fit... Not sure as to why.

Hi.

Well, although I'm fairly knowledgable with Technology, motherboards are one of my weak points. My system has a "ASUS® M4A87TD/USB3: DUAL DDR3,SATA 6.0GB/s, USB 3.0" board, unfortuently I placed the starter pack including the spare parts in the loft for safe-keeping and don't have the time to go up there and search so I though I'd post here.

Last night, I turned off my computer normally via Windows 7's shutdown method. I came back to the computer later on in the evening to notice it was still on but on the "Shutting Down" window. As I was about to go to bed I decided to hard-shutdown the system as I have done before when this has happend on both this and other systems.

This morning I turned on my computer and the motherboard had a beeping fit. It was just continual beeping with no pattern, it then showed me the boot windows normally option as it didn't shutdown correctly so I did and immediately as Windows began booting the beeping stopped.

As far as I can tell all my hardware is functioning. Anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

From my experience, the beeping means that there is a problem with the RAM... try reseating it, and then try using one stick at a time in one slot at a time, to methodically eliminate possibilities. Post back when you have some results and if they solved your problem

As prior stated, there is no noticable hardware issue. All my hardware is recognised and running as it should be.

Ah my mistake, sorry If it's not hardware then I don't know what it could be...
