For some reason when I play games my PC starts to make weird beeping noises.

I had a Ryzen 7 3800x with 32gb of ddr4 corsair dominator ram on a b450 tomahawk motherboard.

The beeping only occurs when I play games.

I recently just installed a Ryzen 7 9800x3d along with 64gb corsair vengeance ddr5 ram on a asus x870e-e rog strix mobo.

When I loaded up a game to test it out, after playing for about 15 minutes the same exact beeping occured again.

I have a RTX 3080 MSI Ventus 10g gpu, with a G.skill MB750G PSU

Could it be the psu? graphics card? a faulty hard drive? after swapping the cpu, mobo and ram I was hoping it would go away but sadly it still occurs

Did you reinstall the OS after performing your upgrade?

How old is the PSU?

Got a link to the ram you're working with?

What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

Thanks for the welcome!

I did indeed reinstall Windows and updated the new motherboard to the latest version of BIOS. The PSU is quite old, maybe a couple years. I was planning to upgrade that next in the future.

This is the ram i purchased - https://www.microcenter.com/product...l-desktop-memory-kit-cmh64gx5m2b6000z30-black

What kind of PSU is it like watt wise and stuff? because it def doesn't seem to be any of the parts if they've been swapped. Its a cool build hopefully its something simple to figure out considering it sounds very aggravating

Please list FULL specs of your system?
Does your system have a hard drive? What model ? A mechanical HDD certainly can make such noises.
What model cpu cooler are you using? Is pump working?
Are all fans spinning? Any stalled fans?
Check cpu and gpu temperatures. Use MSI afterburner.

Definitely check temperatures. I remember in times past and it may still be a thing, but many motherboards had a feature for cpu overheat warning. In other words there would a temperature value set in the bios that if your cpu exceeded that it would begin beeping or some type of similar behavior to alert you.

I have a 500gb Samsung ssd with only windows installed on it, and a 2tb mechanical HDD I use for my games and such (it’s very old) which I’ve always thought may be the problem.

I use a Icue h100i elite lcd xt cpu cooler for the cpu along with 4 corsair fans (3 in the front, 1 in the back)

All the fans are spinning, temps are perfect. I use msi afterburner and have been keeping an eye on temps as I play games.

I can definitely check the bios and see if there’s some type of feature causing this to happen, what is strange is that I swapped motherboards but it is the same exact noise. I keep an eye on temps while I game and I never exceed anything high.

Their should be something in this article to help you.
https://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

Part way down the list their is mention that a continuous beep could be a ram problem , if you run windows memory diagnosis tool it will check your ram and after a restart and a long pause it will say if ram is faulty , windows test wont tell you which stick is faulty so you can either remove 1 stick and repeat the test or use a program such as memtest 86 that i have seen others recommend.

Take the side of your pc before you start it up and look at the POST number when it gets to desktop and look at it again when things go wrong.

If you suspect the HDD, then disconnect it and try to reproduce the sound.

What are model names of SSD and HDD?
Can you show a screenshot from Device Manager - disk drives section expanded?

Two thoughts:

1) At least move the USB-C end of the cable away from case and away from anything that could conduct electricity. Unplug the whole cable if necessary - just to be sure. Objective being to eliminate some sort of electrical charge being built up and discharging through case and cable - one direction or another.

2) Use a cardboard tube or rolled up sheet of paper to locate the source of the beep. Hold one end of the tube to your ear and carefully aim the other end around the inside of the case to find the source. Speaker or otherwise....

I’ll keep a tube next to me next time I play a game and see if I could locate the sound further, whenever I do put my head next to the pc it’s very hard to tell where it’s coming from at all angles.

The usb - c never stays plugged in, I just happened to be charging the headset at that time when I recorded the first video.
