My specs are

Processor: I7 8700k
Motherboard: Z370 Aorus Gaming 3
Gpu: Palit RTX 3070 Gaming Pro
Ram: 16GB DDR4 3200mhz HyperX

Old GPU: Asus RTX 2060
It didn't happen with my old gpu, now when i boot up the pc , i hear 3 fast beeps, followed by the normal boot up beep, when the pc boots up, it seems to work just fine, even after several stress tests.
When i take out the gpu, the problem dissapears, after i re insert the gpu, it comes back, so i think its something related either to the gpu or the pci slot, but i reall don't know for sure

i guessed it was a 3070 before looking at thread, the 3 beeps seems a pattern with them.

That happens if you have csm/legacy boot enabled in the bios - link - turning CSM off if you boot drive is GPT will remove beeps. Turning it off if you use MBR still will result in PC not booting windows so be careful.

Have you updated BIOS on motherboard?
