| 1117681 | 2010-07-10 23:04:00 | My computer beeps randomly, it's weird. After the POST beep (one short beep - OK), there's a long, continuous beep until Win7's logon screen, then it stops. Sometimes, there's some short beeps, long beeps, etc., no specific order. Win7 loads OK and all applications works fine, though. But, when I restart the computer there's no beep. When the computer shuts down, press the start switch again, the POST beep (one short) and it starts loading Windows normally. After the computer is shut down for 2 - hours, it beeps abnormally as described above. It's a Gigabye EP45-DS4P MB, with the latest BIOS update, Win 7 Ult with the latest updates, too. Could it be that the temperature is too low when starting the PC? LOL. It's in a room temperature of 15-20 deg. The after POS beep is really annoying:badpc: . Thinking of reloading Win7 but it's just too much of time and hassle, afterall, there's no problem with the OS. I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions, please. |

| 1117686 | 2010-07-11 00:42:00 | Are you sure about that?, Gigabyte have a 3 year manufacturers warranty on most mobos, on their video cards too. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 1117687 | 2010-07-11 01:19:00 | Are you sure about that?, Gigabyte have a 3 year manufacturers warranty on most mobos, on their video cards too . YEP ! they do . What happens the shop only puts on a one year warranty -- then says its out of its warranty if it fails after a year -- they claim the warranty from the supplier on a replacement board/Card, then charge the customer for a new part -- they make $$ while the customer is ripped out of two years . Thats where any GOOD PC shop, will honor the actual warranty the manufacture puts on the parts . You may get charged for labor though . |

If that is the case, how do I go about to claim the 3 yrs manufacturer's warranty? I bought this mb from PB tech in Oct 2008, rang them and was told that it's only 12 months warranty. Does Gigabyte have an office in NZ where I can contact them re this matter? Cheers. STP. Just rang PB Tech again and was told that it has a 3 yrs warranty! That sounds good. |
