Hi, I have started getting 3 beeps when booting my stalker gt vr pc. I have tryed to access bios by pressing keys & windows 10 settings but I get a no signal on screen then beeping and then it goes straight to windows sign in screen. I have cleaned the pc and checked that all components are seated and connected and I was hoping anyone can give me some advice on this matter.

Hi @Madjuls can you post the spec from your order page so we know what motherboard/components/etc. you have as it makes a difference with respect to beep codes.

Its not the right code for this, but does it still happen regardless of whether you turn your monitor(s) on first (ie before your PC) or not?

If you're getting 3 short beeps that would suggest a RAM issue. Pop your RAM cards out and then reinsert them fully. Stuff does move in transit sometimes.

I ordered my pc from littlewoods so I have no spec from your order page but I have enclosed my system Info snapshot if that helps.

That does point to a gpu error code.

Just to confirm, how do you power on the monitor before turning on the computer, and what cable is it connected to the computer by?

And are there any other symptoms? Does it run fine when it windows?

There's a known fault on Asus boards. Modern monitors constantly send a return code even when in sleep mode to let the pc know it's there. Older monitors send this return code but not while in sleep. Asus boards now give a false GPU error code on older monitors that don't send this return code when they're off. The workaround is to have the monitor powered up and ready when you first turn on the PC so that the return code is instantly sent by the monitor. Or to use a display port instead which doesn't send the return code.

I'd check that all graphics card, memory are properly seated and all other connections are ok, just in case you've inadvertently disturbed something while using the air duster
