I checked the bios and every thing seems good. The computer fires right up does its first post beep then 3 small little chirps after. Loads windows fine and CPUid shows everything listed as correct.

Mother Board MSI G41TM-E43 installed video card is a PCIE ATI all in wonder. Any ideas what the chirps are. http://s159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/Chris-A-album/?action=view&current=newbuildIMG_0717.flv

I posted this in general hardware first by mistake. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?p=29020863&posted=1#post29020863

If your worried about it then have the motherboard RMA'ed. Otherwise if there are no problems then you'll be fine. If the chirp is coming from the motherboard speaker then its probably nothing.

I found the following information for 3 beeps for your AMI bios here

Your computer has memory problems. First check video. If video is working, you'll see an error message. If not, you have a parity error in your first 64K of memory. First check your SIMM's. Reseat them and reboot. If this doesn't do it, the memory chips may be bad. You can try switching the first and second banks memory chips. First banks are the memory banks that your CPU finds its first 64K of base memory in. You'll need to consult your manual to see which bank is first. If all your memory tests good, you probably need to buy another motherboard.

unplug all your usb devices and see if it does that again...msi for some reason has a bios code for usb recognition...maybe not just msi...
edit-just watched the video my money is on the usb recognition sounds REALLY familiar and kinda odd eh?
