ASRock FM2A78M-HD+ beeps 5 times then pc shuts down

[Geof1265]

While I boot normaly, everything works as expected; at random intervals my pc shuts down while signaling those 5 beeps. Then I cannot do anything, not even reset, I have to cut the power completely. I haven't found any clues for the beeping. Need some help.

By the way (just to add a clue) sometimes the screen gets blur or blue just before the beeps.

Thanks.

Those are beep codes. I would guess that you have an AMI BIOS. The five beeps is the code for processor failure. I will look up the BIOS on that motherboard to be sure.

Yes, it does have a AMI BIOS.

Here is a listing of those beep codes. Five beeps = processor failure.
