What does this motherboard beep code mean?
I have a Gigabyte GA-Q77M-D2H motherboard, and when I restarted the PC it made the following beep code and failed to boot (recording):
https://youtu.be/3FAaGJiNSgY
It now does this every time I try to boot the PC. What does it mean? Note: I've tried changing the RAM and unplugging everything except for the power, speaker, and power switch, but I still get this beep code.

Looks like it was some odd BIOS corruption in the end. I removed the battery and booted the machine, and it booted without the beeping, then I restored the battery and now it's working again (albeit with a reset BIOS).

So did the beep codes correspond to anything in the link I posted? 10 short beeps - CMOS error?

If anything it corresponded to the memory error code (1 long and 3 short beeps) which doesn't make much sense as the memory seems fine.
