Crosshair VIII Formula -- One Long Four Short Beeps

[Super Gnome]

If you have your speaker hooked up you will get one short beep on startup. In my case, with the C6F motherboard on startup you get the one beep (which I think means all is good), but then a couple seconds later one short then four long beeps. This set of beeps I believe means there is a "Hardware component failure" but after that the system starts and runs completely fine.

This computer is only a couple months old. What should you make of this? And if there is a problem or it is a glitch, somehow, how do know what it is? Again the system runs fine for general internet stuff and gaming.

Any thoughts at all or knowledge or comments would rock. Thanks in advance.

"Hardware failure" means all and nothing... did you try to reflash the BIOS using the FlashBack way?
