I've got a bit of a situation. I bought a new PC around three weeks ago and everything was fine until recently. I traveled for a week, and when I returned, I started gaming and noticed that my motherboard is beeping continuously. The PC shuts down if I don't exit the game, which is frustrating. Initially, I thought it might be a heating issue, but the temperatures are actually normal, around 70–80°C. I consulted a chatbot, and it suggested that my graphics card might be drawing too much power, indicating a potential problem with my PSU. I'm really not that tech-savvy, and I'm confused about what steps to take next. After playing for an hour or two, the beeping starts again and the machine shuts off. I've tried reseating the RAM and a few other things, but nothing seems to help. If it is indeed a PSU issue, that's a problem since I'm low on funds. I really hope it's something simple that I can fix easily instead of having to replace the PSU. Here are my specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER
- Motherboard: MSI PRO B650M-E
- PSU: Ruix GX 750W Bronze

First off, check your idle temperatures again, just to be sure. How are your CPU and GPU behaving when not gaming? If your GPU is around 42°C and your CPU is at 48°C, those temps look okay, but keep an eye on them when you're gaming. Sometimes, continuous beeping could indicate an issue with power delivery or a hardware failure. I'd suggest making sure all your connections inside the PC are snug and that the PSU is functioning properly. If you've already ruled out overheating, consider the PSU as a potential problem, especially if it's older or lower quality. Just ensure any replacement can adequately handle your GPU's power draw.
I had a similar issue before; it turned out to be the PSU. The Ruix brand isn’t the most reliable when it comes to higher-end builds. If you can borrow a PSU from a friend or check if you can swap it out temporarily, that might help you diagnose the problem without spending too much. The constant shutting off can definitely damage components, so it’s best to figure this out sooner rather than later.
Also, don’t forget to check if your motherboard has any specific error codes or lights indicating a problem. Some boards beep in patterns that can mean different things—or even a failing hardware component. It might be worth looking at the manual to see if those beeps mean something. Stay patient and troubleshoot step by step!
