Im using an ASrock A520-HDV motherboard, and when i was rebooting my computer to boot it into windows (i have windows 10 and arch linux installed) it showed the grub menu for 1 second and then the screen went totally black, so i pushed the reset button of my case, but when i did that the computer didnt POST and it started to beep 3 consecutive times followed by 1 beep, then stopping and doing it all over again, i reseted the cmpuer with the power supply and it booted normally, but i want to know what those beeps mean, i also checked the motherboard's manual and it doesnt say anything

Do these help in any way? (From https://itigic.com/beeps-on-asus-msi-asrock-and-gigabyte-motherboards-meanings/?expand_article=1 )

Short and constant beeps: error with RAM memory refresh.

Two short beeps: RAM parity error.

Three short beeps: RAM read / write test failed.

Four short beeps: system clock error.

Five short beeps: CPU error.

Six short beeps: keyboard controller error, or keyboard not detected.

Seven short beeps – General error, usually due to CPU or RAM.

Eight short beeps: graphics card error, check that it is installed correctly and that the power cables are connected.

Nine short beeps: ROM error. A Clear CMOS generally does not solve.

Ten short beeps: ROM read / write error. A Clear CMOS could fix it.

Eleven short beeps: CPU cache check failed.
