I'm getting a beep code after my pc already boots. It's a long/short code. Has anyone ever had a beep code go off after their system has already booted? Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Tracy, that could be it. Could you elaborate a little?

How about get a fan and blow it at the outside/front of your case or open the case and blow a fan into the case, a house fan will hella-cool off your case. That will definately lower the temperature and will be a good way to test Tracy's theory. Also, you might wanna look at your fans and see if they are spinning.
Also, computers can get hot when people place the back of the computer 2 close to a wall. This blocks airflow which doesn't allow your pc to cool itself, kinda like putting something over the back side of a house fan. The fan can spin but it can't blow air if it can't suck air in, and vice versa. So keep the back of your PC a foot away from the wall/objects/curtains/etc.

It would depend on your specific motherboard, since there is no real standard for BIOS beep codes, so it would really depend on the number of beeps and their length to determine what is causing it.
Most have to do with some sort of hardware failure (ram, video card, cpu)
Your best bet would be to right down the code and look it up on your mobo's website.

every beep has a different meaning. 1 time long beep is ram /cpu error 3 times short beep GPU error you need more specify.

depending on your beeps. if your computer turn on and you see a display it could be a fan issue. if you don't see a display it will surely be a hardware issue. it might be your (bios), you will have to set your bios again.

Try to update your bios it will work wonders. If you have an oem like dell or hp then you will have to call tech support.
