The system I built had been working great for 7 months. I went on vacation and powered it off (but it was still plugged in) for a week. When I returned, it started and functioned normally. The next day the power lights were illuminated, but the screen indicated no signal.
I powered off to restart, and it would not post on restart.
I was stumped, so I bread boarded. Only one stick of memory firmly seated (in correct position (same error if stick is swapped with other)) and I quadruple checked both 8pin and 24 pin were firmly attached.
The beep code is several short beeps (over 20) which I believe gigabyte's support FAQ implies "memory not correctly installed" However, gigabyte's beep code page is not clear to me and the "continuous short beep" may also mean power supply failure.
If is a memory problem, I'm stumped because it is installed correctly.
If it's a PSU problem, I bought a new PSU to see if that would solve it (I know a new one is not as good as a known working one, but it was my only option) the new (corsair) displayed the same behaviour of my old (seasonic).
The behaviour: when power is shorted to start, the psu fan starts, the cpu fan starts, the mobo lights illuminate. Then the cpu fan stops, the beeps begin, and when the beeps stop, the psu fan stops and the mobo light go out. Then it repeats.
I tried resetting cmos and permitting memory sticks.
Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot.

Same beep sequence: continuous short beeps (over 20).
The only difference is now the cpu fan starts and instantly stops (like half a revolution)

I can't find it, do you suspect this to be the source of the problem?

To test the Intel stick cooler, I would have to remove the existing thermal paste and reapply to cpu correct? Is there a way around this?

Thanks for the suggestion. I mentioned previously that I already purchased a new psu to test if the original psu was failing. Do you think a 3rd psu is reasonable to test?

Installed Intel stock fan, left all memory out. Same error code.
Installed one stick of memory, got a new one short beep code (success?)
I'm very sure I had installed the memory with the old fan correctly. Can you speculate that the source of the problem was indeed a faulty fan?
Thank you very much btw
