Solved PC beeping while gaming

Hello,

I have a gaming PC that had no issues since I bought it in 2016.
Recently, it beeps while I run heavy games on it. After a few minutes of gaming, there's a single short beep. Later there are two short beeps. If I doen't exit the game, I get all sorts of intersting beeps, including two long ones, and even a continues one.
I am not even sure that there is a problem at all, but then again the beeps might be warning me that something is about to get ruined if I continue.

I ran windows RAM tool and it found no problems.
I tried disabling page file (memory virtualization), and that caused the problem to change: instead of beeping, games would just randomally crush after a few minutes.
Do I need new RAM stick? Or perhaps just a way to make the beeps stop?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

To clarify that one continuous beep, you posted is that correct?

I got mostly short beeps, and some longer ones.
If I leave the game on for long enough I also get a very long beep (continues) for about 10 seconds or so.

According the mobo site that continuous beep means your psu is failing.. Post your complete psu spec's.

I have a "Seasonic G Series 550 W Gold 80 plus". It might be supplying less power than it used to?

Missing from the parts list;

The brand and model name or number of any add on video card.

The brand and model name or number of the RAM and whether or not it is a single 16GB stick or two 8GB sticks.

The PSU was very good when new but being out of warranty means that you are no longer covered if it goes bang.

Sorry that I didn't repond for a few days, but I couldn't get the problem to repeat itself. The only change is that I've opened the PC and removed some dust (which I neglecated to do for about 2 years). It seems that it did the trick. Thanks for the help!
