Random small beeps

Sometimes when I am using my P870DM-G I would hear small random beeps, it's like a single beep like beeeep, very short, as if it was an SMS notification on the phone or something

I don't know when it happens it's random. anyone notice this? What the heck is it?

 

lil OT: it might be a good idea to post your questions regarding your machine in the respective owner´s lounge instead of opening up a new thread for every single question. especially because other actual owners might be better equipped to help you out! no offense, just saying

concerning your issue: can u make it whether or not this beep is coming from your speakers of from the mobo? if its the latter we could potentially already restrict this to something bios / ec / firmware related...

 

The thing is, if I post it in the owner's lounge, it gets lost with all the tens of posts posted daily and I wouldn't be able to keep track

As for the sound, I feel it's from the mobo as it's not as loud as my current speaker volume and the sound seems to be very small, like it's from a tiny speaker....

 

hm yeah that sounds like its the mobo. you can try the following:

- check for beeps on battery, psu removed
- same for battery removed, ac connected
- set bios to default and check again (iirc u have xtu profile saved up so u can just reapply the settings afterwards)
- if all else fails, it might also be good to check the seating of your CMOS battery (which saves the bios settings in case u remove both the battery and ac adapter) and maybe update to the latest bios / ec revisions

no promises that any of these will work, but its a start

 

How frequent is the noise? And can you hear it intermittently still if you leave your audio volume muted?

 

duh, yes! try and mute the audio to make sure its coming from the mobo why didnt i think of that? valid input prostar

I never did mute the audio because it happens like once a day so you can never predict when it will happen.

 

stupid question: might those beeps be connected to the flexicharger feature? i.e. every time the system charges/discharges or reaches one of the set limits it gives off an audible beep?

very smart suggestion, as this only happens like once a day when I first start using the laptop usually

what do you think @Mr. Fox

Did you get any beeps on your Phoenix?

 

Ok from the time I made this post until now which is about 8 hours, it just made that "teet/beep" very low noise

I was wearing my headphones while it happened, I don't think the sound came from the headphones, I felt it from the right side of the laptop

I juts finished playing a video on YouTube, CPU temp is @43C on all 4 cores

 

No, but I have the unlocked BIOS and there is a setting to disable beeps at startup. It is set to disabled by default. It might be a keyboard interrupt or random stuck key issue if it happens while the system is running. Try setting your CPU clocks to default and see if the problem goes away with no overclock. If it does it could be the voltage is too low and causing a micro-hang in Windows (for lack of a better word). If removing the overclock stops it, increase the voltage a tiny bit and see if that cures it with the overclock.

 

Is there maybe anything in the event viewer for errors, that might line up with when the beep happens?

 

Didn't check, now I formatted today and so far haven't heard a single beat, mind you, this time I didn't overclock, everything is at default settings and no XTU installed. Will keep monitoring this for a while

 

Mechanical HDDs can beep when they are about to fail, or when they don't get enough current (observed that with 7200rpm HDD connected via USB enclosure). Maybe that's the case.

 

So, any beeping today?

I highly doubt it's a failing hard drive since it's brand new.

 

It happened a few times, nothing in the event log, nada. I don't think they are failing, they are working perfectly fine, they are a spanned drive though if it makes any difference, as in both the 2TB drives are combined into one big 4TB partition

 

Honestly, my Clevo laptops randomly beep sometimes too, but not too often that it becomes annoying. I had Prema try and help me with it but I dunno, we kind of just weren't really able to solve it. Oh well, I'd gladly take small, infrequent, rare beeping with my Clevo laptop over not having a Clevo laptop.
