Sorry for this necroposting, but I am experiencing the same issue.
First of all my configuration:
- Asrock Fatal1ty z68 Professional Gen 3
- I7 2600k (@ default)
- 4x4 GB g.skill F3-14900CLQ-16GBXL (at the times when I built my config, g.skill mentioned my mobo in the list of compatible hardware, and Asrock did the same with the RAMs);
- SSD crucial mx 500gb;
- 2x HDD WD (different size).
Two weeks ago my pc froze.
The image was stuck on my monitor, and I was unable to even move the mouse. I was not playing, just using firefox.
I shut down my PC by pressing the power button for 5 seconds.
When I tried to start it again, 4 beeps, black monitor, spinning fans.
The PC started go On/Off by itself every 5-10 seconds, and everytime the same 4 beeps.
I pressed the power button and it went Off for good.
I switched off the PSU, waited some seconds, and turned everything On again.
The PC booted normally.
Yesterday I had the very same issue (again, I was just using the browser), but this time, even if I tried the same trick with the PSU, the issue remained.
I read online, and somewhere, someone had wrote it was the RAMs. So I pulled out the RAMs on A2 & B2 (I was unable to remove the RAM in A1 because it was under the Silver Arrow).
The PC booted normally.
So I had to check which one of the two RAMs I pulled out was the faulted one.
I removed another one (the one in B1 so that I used a slot I was sure it was working), and made some trials.
With one RAM I had the same issue, with the other I had no beeps at all, but no image on monitor either.
Today I brought the two RAMs to one of my friends, who repairs smartphones and PCs, he tested them and said they are ok.
And I still cannot understand what is happening.
I remember the cmos battery was replaced sometime ago, but tomorrow I will check the expiration date on it, just to make sure.
Sorry for the lenght.
Any help will be appreciated...a lot!
