Anyone know why whenever i try and start up my pc a beeping noise happens and my monitor wont turn on then it beeps 3 times then just stays black

@uncut lynx check you have your HDMI in the GPU not the motherboard

Monitor Cables

If you have a discrete GPU then you need to plug your monitor cable into the graphics card, not the motherboard. This can be found on the Quick Start Guide which was emailed to you, or you can download it with the /tag guide command.

Ugly beeps, not actually sure. Try booting up with one monitor first

Resetting CMOS

:one: Shut down your PC and unplug the power cord from the wall.
:two: Locate the CMOS battery (see the image below). On some motherboards, you may have to remove the graphics card in order to access it.
:three: Remove the CMOS battery from the motherboard by pressing down on the clip and pulling the battery out.
:four: Hold down the case power button for three seconds while your PC is unplugged.
:five: Install the CMOS battery back into the motherboard and plug the power cord back into the wall.
:six: Plug in and turn on your PC.

Tried the one monitor thing doesnt seem to work still@beeps and nothing happens

warm remnant Nov 9, 2022, 5:35 PM

Try the CMOS reset. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense but just fixes things

#

Also is this a new issue from a computer you’ve been on for a while or is it brand new?

warm remnant Nov 9, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

CMOS is pretty easy, it may be under your GPU though

#

Do you know what motherboard you have?

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

I believe it is a z390

#

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 5:53 PM

#

i@think so

quick gust Nov 9, 2022, 5:54 PM

#

To remove the cmos you may need to remove your GPU in order to get to the cmos

Reseating GPU

quick gust Nov 9, 2022, 5:57 PM

#

That will show how to remove the GPU in order to get to the CMOS

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 5:59 PM

#

Before doing the cmos, i'd try ram, Take out this ram module

#

At the top of that image there will be a clip that holds the ram in, push that towards the motheboard if you're doing it with the PC stood up and that should release the ram clip

Reseating RAM

quick gust Nov 9, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

There's a video to show you

#

Take the ram stick out and try to turn on the PC without that ram module in

#

So you'll only have the one other stick of ram in

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

then what about after that

quick gust Nov 9, 2022, 6:07 PM

#

If you still get the same result put that ram module back in, the clip will automatically flip up when inserting the module to lock it in and then try it with the other ram module

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 6:16 PM

#

I took one out and have the same resulyd so trying the one rn

#

done both no chnages

#

#

do u think my ram sticks could be messedup?

#

if i swapped them around would that do anything

quick gust Nov 9, 2022, 6:38 PM

#

You tested them one at a time correct?

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 6:45 PM

#

yeah

quick gust Nov 9, 2022, 6:46 PM

#

I'd try to give that cmos battery a go

#

Sometimes even the most unlikely thing can be the thing that solves it

#

With PC's you'd be surprised

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 6:47 PM

#

yeah ofcourse you are pretty good with tech but going off of what i would do the beeps match the description of googles and it says that it is something to do with memory so im just wondering whether it could be ram sticks, recently they have been on about 95% on task manager when running gta so not sure

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 7:05 PM

#

idk what do u think i dhould do the cmos or its my ram stickd

warm remnant Nov 9, 2022, 7:23 PM

#

Defo try the cmos

#

Cmos sets memory settings for the RAM. So it might just need a reset

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 8:58 PM

#

okay will do that soon

#

shoyld i replace it

tranquil sedge Nov 9, 2022, 9:07 PM

#

uncut lynx shoyld i replace it

If you're on about the CMOS battery you don't need to replace it just take it out, hold PC power button for a couple secs then put the battery back in

warm remnant Nov 9, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

Yeah no need to replace it at all

uncut lynx Nov 9, 2022, 11:14 PM

#

this may sound sumb but when i hold the power button is it suppoded yo be plugged on

warm remnant Nov 9, 2022, 11:20 PM

Nope
