I got a new MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Gaming X 8GB GDDR6 at 10.06.22. The same day I've decided to install a Windows 11 at my new, fresh SSD m.2. I turned on fTMP and I have no clue what I did exactly with CSM before installation - whether I enabled it on or off. My pendrive was created (booted) at Rufus, in which I chose to boot UEFI + no CSM. That's all, Windows 11 works.
At the end I've installed a chipset and gpu drivers. That's all what I did for days. I didn't change anything at bios, so I can't remember if CSM was on or off, before the update to F60.
At 13.06.22 I've deciced to update my bios from F50 to F60, due to the possibility of buying a new Ryzen 5600x. Everything was going well till next day. I wanted to run my pc and I hear beeps - it's one long and then 2 short.
After this Windows 11 launches as if nothing had happened. 3 beeps when I press start and then I can use my pc as always. No errors, temp as always.
Google says about CSM - to disable it. But there is a problem. With CSM off - beeps appear. With on - beeps disappear. So I can easily turn the CSM on to solve my problem, but that's not permanent solution.
I need CSM off to ran Windows 11 and to use a Resize Bar at bios.
What can I do? I also updated a bios to the latest one - F63B. Still the same. I've changed Smart Fan Mode, set XMP profile. Nothing else.
PCi is on auto, and I can chose manually 1-3 gen. I don't have on-board gpu.
I will also add that my monitor is ASUS VG248QE (DP 1.2) and I use a DisplayPort (1.2, 20 pins) connection. I tried to unpin DisplayPort from a gpu and run a pc - still 3 beeps.
For two days I had Fast Boot on and there was no beeps at all, Not even a single one. Everything worked well. But at third day beeps have returned, when I launched pc.
That was when I launched my pc at the same time as the monitor (casual switch under the monitor) so maybe that's a problem? Like monitor launches slower than pc and bios has a problem to hook a display? But on the other hand, I've tried to lauch a pc (with CSM off) when monitor was on/off - same beeps.
There are no 3 beeps (1 long, 2 short), when
Mainboard has PCi 3.0, not 4.0 like my gpu wants.
I'm almost sure it's all about bios's settings - especially CSM.
I had GTX 970 before and Windows 10. Never changed anything at bios, except Smart Fan Mode and XMP profile.
I didn't know anything about CSM before, so it was probably on.
Also if I turn CSM off, there are moments, when my monitor has a problem to hook a display from DisplayPort.
My screen is black and it usually says like: "Looking for a DisplayPort", so I can't get into bios and usually what helps me is - turning off pc/monitor, then I switch DP to other spot on my gpu.
My vBIOS and gpu drivers are the latest one - 94.04.6B.00.A2.
I've install a Nvidia Update Tool for DisplayPort, but it's for DP 1.4, so.
Wonder, what if CSM was on before I install W11. Might it be a cause?
Probably not.

There are no 3 beeps (1 long, 2 short), when
- I turn on CSM
- I turn off CSM
- I restart pc or I launch my pc after a short brake after closing - couple minutes
- (sometimes) I turn on Fast Boot (CSM off) - there are no beeps at all, not even a single one
