New build, getting beeping on start up but not all the time.

I just built a new comuputer a little bit ago and I notice once and a while at start up it will give me a bunch of beeps. My system starts as normal and they stop once it starts loading the devices. If I keep my system on for a bit and shut down, then turn on again it doesnt do it. But if I shut down for the night. Turn back on in morning it will do it only 75% of the time. Somes it will do it even after standby mode but not as often. Well my specs are as seen in my signature. For purposes of tring to figure this out I do not have my computer OC at the moment but it will still do it regardless. Thanks

It's just one beep after another. I think about 6 or 7 beeps before my computer starts loading and then it stops.

Check what kind of Bios you have on the post screen and look here: http://www.pcmech.com/show/troubleshoot/14/

Continuous beeps usually mean memory issues. Try different combinations of sticks.
