I have a MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard and for quite some time now, after turning the computer on but before it loads windows I hear 3 beeps (more like 2 short beeps followed by a "budunk" if that makes any sense) from the pc speaker. I don't recall hearing those when I first put it together and a friend has the same motherboard and gets no beeping. Everything seems to be working properly but I can't help but think that the beep code is trying to tell me something is amiss.
I thought it might indicate an issue with the memory or video card (I was using 2 cards in crossfire) so I have tried multiple configurations with the RAM (8Gb in 4, 2Gb sticks) Whereby I tried rearranging the RAM into different slots, removing 2 sticks at a time (I tried this with all 4 sticks leaving 2 in). I removed the video cards and swapped slots and tried it with just 1 video card in each of the x16 slots. After all that I still got the beep, beep, budunk after every test.
I have been told to just not worry about it since I am not really experiencing any problems but I am having trouble doing that and wonder if anyone can give me an idea on why I am getting that code.
