[SOLVED] Asus motherboard beeps randomly?

[leksaloffe]

My ASUS TUF B450 PLUS-GAMING sometimes beeps randomly and I hear some fans turn on. Whats going on? It happens rarely but it sometimes happens while I'm just playing or watching youtube videos.

The beeping is an error code, next time it happens count the beeps and consult the user manual. It will tell you what its trying to say.

It's just a single beep. I'll check the manual.

The manual doesn't say anything about beeps or errors?

Update the bios. If that doesn't work return the motherboard.
What is your power supply?

Cooler Master GX 650W 80+ Bronze, so a pretty old one.

Didn't even think of updating the BIOS... I installed the motherboard just a couple of days ago and never updated it.

How do I update the BIOS? I only see videos with USB sticks but I don't have one. Is there a way to do it without one?

Your best bet is to get a USB stick. Internet updates are not safe.
Check the motherboard manual for procedures.

So I ended up fixing it. I had a dead hard drive plugged in and it was causing the beeps and boots.
