any idea what causes this? I've cleaned the fan and blew all the dust off the inside of the tower. But its still happening. It may go for weeks before it beeps or it may start beeping every time I turn it on/

It is a continous beep-beep-beep-beep until it is shut down.

Ohhh! I had an old computer that did that. I think it has to do with something overheating, either with the power supply or CPU. I'm trying to remember if I figured out what it was causing it to do that.

Kindly add a few more details, such as how many beeps are there in a sequence, what is the pattern (as in beep-beep-bip... or bip-bee-bip) and others since these are actually programmed audible signals that will point to what part of the hardware has a possible problem or has an error being encountered.

As all have stated above it ought to correctly be quite some issues. even with the indisputable fact that, from the spec of your workstation you've distinct warm temperature being generated, so your followers may no longer be sufficient. I had an analogous situation with new RAM and different stuff on a workstation that ran positive for 2 years as well. It did the exact same as you for mnths and drove me mad, yet i'm no longer announcing yours it an analogous situation. What I did changed into take off the aspect panel, checked each little thing as recommended above, then stuck a huge table fan proper next to it to blow chilly air in it, before and at the same time as it changed into operating. This stopped it happening, untill I took it away, then I were given the BIOS click (quietly) to inform me it changed into getting warm back. I positioned it back and it changed into positive. I scanned the completed aspect at the same time as booted, and the different 2 drives I have, as all of them generate warmth, then i purchased a twin fan for £7 to slot interior to make amends for all of it. It hasn't ever faulted considering! it truly is well worth a attempt as you've added some bits which aren't any further prevalent to the motherboard. desire this facilitates.

yeah it could be overheating or even the power supply starting to die. I had one that would die when booted and then when rebooted it would stay on for hours and then beep and die. You could also make sure all the cards and cables are seated properly.

Could be either the RAM is not fit properly in the slot or maybe if it sounds more like a "clicking" it is your Hard Drive failing. If its the latter, irecommend taking ti to a shop.
