GA-Z170X-Gaming 7
Firmware version: F5
Windows 10
Intel i7 6770k
Odd problem. If my computer has been up for longer than 4 or 5 days the motherboard will emit a constant, endless beep through the onboard speaker. The OS does not lock up and actually continues to run as usual. I could not find any detection nor logs about possible voltage issues (running stock speeds), temps, or any other type of hardware failure. Rebooting the computer will, of course, clear the issue, and the reboot will perform flawlessly. (No boot option errors, etc.) Nothing in the BIOS reports any hardware problems.
What makes this even stranger is that it starts between 2am and 6am (Mountain Standard Time). My roommates are usually up until 2 and when I wake up around 6 I'll hear the constant beep. When I've asked them if they knew about it they claim it wasn't happening while they were awake.
I'm not certain if this is a firmware issue or not, but I can say that I didn't experience this prior to the F5 release. So far this has only occurred twice. (Once with OC settings, once with stock settings.)
Maybe it's an issue with Windows 10?
I've been having this constant beep as well ,,
i wonder if anyone can offer any insight into this problem i'm having with this board (ga-z170x-gaming 7) bios f6, i'm half way through a gaming section about 2hrs long and i start to hear a continuous beep from the speaker on the motherboard , this was a day ago and today it's happened while the pc is just in idle ...
there is no error code showing on the led display ,all temps are normal same as the voltages and fans are running everything is working as it should from what i can tell , i do not have any alarms setup in the bios or gigabytes softwares. , i did a restart and the continuous beep was still present , after this i did a full power down and then restarted it had gone .
today when this happened just a straight restart fixed it , i didn't have to shut down completely like the other day , plus when the beeping was going off today i manually checked everthing was ok ,, eg all temps ok , all fans running ok same for the voltages , hard drives and graphic cards .... also i have no overclocking going on , not even on my graphics cards
Please someone gigabyte help us as this is driving me insane , i just want to know if its just a bug or is it something more serious.
It wouldn't be so bad but this is my second GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 motherboard now as the first one had bad ram slots and i had to RMA it , all this in just a week ...
