I did some research and found out the following: If I removed the video card and switched back to the onboard video, everything would work again. The 5 short beeps were back and nothing on the monitor. I disabled CSM, configured secure boot, and rebooted. I went into the BIOS configuration and could not find an option for Secure Boot settings, so I did some research and found out I had to disable an option called CSM support before the Secure Boot settings would show up. I then noticed that Secure Boot was disabled. I configured the BIOS settings the way I wanted them and installed Windows 10. Yay!Īt this point, I thought maybe something was wrong with the video card, but I wasn't sure, so I upgraded the BIOS to the latest version, put back in the GTX 660 and this time it worked. Still Nothing.įinally, I removed the video card and hooked the monitor up to the onboard video and the system booted. I then tried moving the RAM around thinking maybe it needed to be in a specific slot. I removed the CPU, checked the pins on the motherboard for damage, re-seated the CPU and still nothing but the same 5 beeps when I turned on the system. Everything I could find said 5 short beeps is a processor issue.
#Gigabyte b360m ds3h upgrade#
The entire upgrade cost me just over $200.Īfter installing the new hardware, I turned on the system and got nothing on the monitor and 5 short post beeps. Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 I picked up the following new hardware on Amazon and decided I would continue to use the Nvidia GTX 660 from her current system. She only does some light gaming and plays mostly older games like The Sims 2 (she prefers this one to the newer games). My wife's 10 year old AMD system died a few days ago so I decided it was time for an upgrade.
