Please assist, my computer works but theirs something strange

The motherboard light glows green and computer beeps during startup, my screen shows the home screen and computer is working fine like normal, but why does it beep on startup and green light stays on (PC will start like normal but should i be worried)

What is the model of the motherboard?
How many beeps?

If the system runs fine but the beeping bugs you, disconnect the internal speaker.

One beep is normal.
Two beeps is when it doesn't find a graphics card.
If you are getting two beeps....I would first reseat the card.

lol but is there something wrong or can i just carry on

Obviously I wouldn't worry about 1 beep.
I would wonder about the two beeps.
If I didn't see anything wrong....I would reseat the graphics card just to see if I could get the two beeps to go away.
If I couldn't....and the system was running fine...I would probably just leave it be....as what else is there to do?

Cool i am using integrated graphics, will keep the beep, coz it sounds nice like a microwave

One beep is probably just an initialization tone. Nothing to worry about. More than one would signify a post error code being communicated.
