In the first bib.mp4, the beep sound was 1 long 1 short, but with memory replacement, the beeps changed to "pi, shurushururu".
I couldn't figure out what "pi shurushururu" sounded like.
I found out that the first pi sound means that the PC has booted up normally, and the "shurushururu" sound is not a beep sound, but is coming from the rotating device, and there is no shurushururu beep sound.
So, I can assume that the PC is now in a normal state after the memory replacement, but does it have any rotating devices?
Just for information: Yes, I think (hope) the new PC is working as should, despite of the beep... I let if resize a video with ffmpeg -i aFishCalledWanda.avi -vf scale=1080:-1 -threads 0 -preset veryslow -crf 18 -movflags +faststart wanda.mp4 which should used it at the max. It run perfectly. To be even more mean with it, and although gkrellm showed nearly 100% usage of all cores I used Yast to install a large application plus surfed the internet with firefox, all at the same time. The processors got hot (98 - 100°C), but it worked fine. Then I encrypted a new external 8TB disk and am installing ext4 file system on a single 8TB partition with mkfs.ext4 -c L, which runs since 14:23h and is at 97.5% right now with the processors at 54°C. For my knowledge this is quite a heavy stress test and it passed. So I hope the case is solved. Thanks everybody for the input!
