Hello all, this is my first build. I have noticed that when I start the computer up there are 2 beeps, but everything works fine, I have been using my computer as of about a month now. I was bored and noticed the 2 beeps. Should I be worried about this? Any help is much appreciated, I am a bit paranoid right now.

You need to find your BIOS manufacturer and look up the beep code for that. It might even be in your motherboard manual, but they don't put that in as much as they used to. One beep is normal. Two beeps will mean something is amiss.

If it is an AMI BIOS and you hear 2 short beeps, that probably means there's a memory error.
In an Award BIOS, that may mean a CMOS error. (weak battery?)
