Question New build gives 4 long beeps and then PC restarts, never turns on or gives video signal ?

[Valentine1704]

Hello, I'm building my PC, everything is perfectly connected, everything is very neat, but when I turn it on it never gives video, the entire screen is black and the speaker gives 4 long beeps. The components I have are the following: (I have a dedicated video card even though the processor is the 13400F)

Mobo: GIGABYTE H610M S2H rev 1.2 DDR4, LGA1700
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/H610M-S2H-DDR4-rev-12#kf
Supports Intel® Core™ 14th/ 13th /12th processors. Maybe it's a BIOS update? I don't understand... I've already done CMOS 3 times too and nothing new happens. It just seemed to me that when I disconnected the HDMI cable from the video card, it made 4 beeps and 1 short one, but I'm not sure.


CPU: INTEL CORE I5 13400F

GPU: GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 1650 GDDR6 4 GB OC

RAM: 16GB ( 2 X 8 ) KINGSTON 3200MHZ CL16 FURY BEAST BLACK DDR4

- 480 GB SSD M.2 NVME WD GREEN SN350

- 960 GB SSD SATA III 2.5" MSI SPATIUM

PSU: GIGABYTE 550W 80 PLUS BRONZE

Case: THERMALTAKE V150 TG BLACK TEMPERED GLASS

Note the "Core Config" section of the link.

As I understand the specs the 13400F does not have integrated graphics.

This:

" (I have a dedicated video card even though the processor is the 13400F)"

Your post makes me think that you believe that the CPU has integrated graphics.

How is the monitor connected: ports and cable type?

Hello, sorry for the confusion.

The core i5 13400F processor does not have integrated video, that I know well.

That's why I have a GTX 1650, a dedicated video card, connected to the PC. But it makes 4 long beeps and restarts, it never gets to BIOS, the screen always goes black.

It is connected via HDMI from the output of the video card to the input of the HDMI monitor.

I couldn't tell you the HDMI version, but it should be compatible, I have tried much higher video cards without problems on the same monitor, and even the newest ones, I tried an RTX 4070 TI SUPER recently and without problems, so a GTX 1650 should not be a problem.

At the same time, I tried with an old GTX 1060 that I have on a PC that I know works perfectly, on this same one, and it does the same, with any video card you connect, it makes 4 long beeps, and restarts, like this until the infinite.

For this reason, I have already tried with other RAM memories that I know work, I tried with another video card, and obviously it is not the case, nor the power supply nor SSDs, so obviously the problem is on the motherboard OR in the processor. The processor, being from the 13th generation, may not be taken for the BIOS version of the mother that started with the 12th generation. So a friend will later lend me his 12th gen processor to test to see if it works.

you're sure? The bios version tells me F22.

https://www.gigabyte.com/Ajax/Suppo...l Socket 1700&Chipest=Intel H610&Type=Chipest

Look for:
H610M S2H DDR4
REV 1.2

Core I5-13400F

BIOS: F22

I think the motherboard has an F1 BIOS or one prior to F22, which is why it does not take the Core I5 13400F

>Supports Intel® Core™ 14th/ 13th /12th processors

>So a friend will later lend me his 12th gen processor to test to see if it works.

Per Gigabyte's CPU support list (https://www.gigabyte.com/Support/CPU-Support), H610M S2H V2 board supports i5-13400 with its initial F1 BIOS rev, ie, out-of-the-box. Note: Board does not support Q-Flash Plus (BIOS flashback).

The board's manual doesn't have an error code list, reflecting its low-end nature, but Google search indicates 4 beeps = system timer failure, which generally means motherboard or RAM, or bad install.

I am now wondering about the beeps.

In the meantime I found the following link:

https://www.partitionwizard.com/news/gigabyte-beep-codes.html

No meanings with respect to "4 long beeps" noted. 4 short beeps attributed to, as you posted, "system timer failure".

Indeed, referencing the link provided by @Valentine1704, confirm the BIOS.

And remember that if the CPU does not have integrated graphics look "N/A" in the GPU info column.

Before installing your friend's CPU - check the BIOS as well.

What a bad gigabyte service, giving a REV 1.2 motherboard the F1 bios, literally the first, ONLY with a 12th gen Intel processor will it work for the first time, a disaster.

Anyway, I sill love gigabyte very much, but this seems unacceptable. its only a disclaimer. I am happy that everything works well.

So yes, we can consider the post resolved, from now on I hope everyone knows that for the H610 or similar, you must have a 12° Intel processor to update BIOS, the REV does not matter, even the newest REV 1.4 will come with the F1 bios so it only supports 12° intel from the beginning, to install 13° or 14° intel later, get a 12° processor and update the BIOS. that's it.
