Any updates on this? I’m having the same issue. It’s not the OS. The beeps are random, and I’ve also noticed the fan spinning up when it happens. I’m using the machine as a silent dev server (debian 13, without any loads on memory or cpu). The only thing I changed in the BIOS was reducing the integrated GPU memory to 512 MB (it was 4 GB by default).
Chuwi uses AMI BIOS, and those beeps likely point to an issue with either the memory or the graphics card.
update: i checked both memory (memtest86+) and videocard (stress-ng) no errors
There are probably design issues (electronic/electrical interference) or poor quality components. We will never know what is happening, but the fact remains that this brand should be avoided.
It doesn’t seem to be an issue with the RAM or the graphics card — several people here have already checked that. I also checked the BIOS battery: it’s a CR2032 dated 2025-09-20, so it’s quite recent, and I doubt that’s the cause. Replacing it wouldn’t be easy anyway, since it’s wrapped in tape and connected with wires.
Could this be temperature-related? The beeping starts first and then the fan spins up, and I’m clearly not the only one experiencing this. I tried checking the temperature sensors, but Debian didn’t detect them. It might be worth monitoring the temperature to see if there’s any correlation with when the beeping begins, or maybe voltage related.
I changed the GPU memory allocation in the BIOS back to 4 GB. I’m monitoring it now to see whether it has any effect.
These sounds appear after the POST in the BIOS, it’s strange.
I don’t think it depends on the temperature, because for me, for example, it happens as soon as I turn it on. If it were a temperature issue, we would see slowdowns until it crashes. They told me it’s electronic interference, the usual excuse to use when you don’t know what’s causing it :D… since it happens even if I unplug the computer and turn it on away from any electronic devices.
You get used to it. Working 24/7 for ~1 month and i get 7/8 random beeps a day, some i don’t even ear them. I think it’s not motherboard beeps, i think it’s somekind of electronical issue like @alexpita says.
Or maybe as this is a new revision of this mini pc with embedded RAM, different from the old revision where you have 2 RAM slots. If you open the mini pc you see a connection where the RAM slots should connect. So chances are they didn’t update the bios and used the same BIOS and somehow is trying to find the old RAM slots and can’t find them.
No I don’t think it’s related to the temperature. It happens immediately when you turn it on, and it’s impossible for it to be overheated as soon as it’s turned on. Furthermore, if you turn on the PC by itself, without connecting any cables, holding it in your hand, it still happens. It’s a problem of electrical/electronic interference from some component. I’ve tested the temperatures, and they’re always excellent.
Im facing this problem too. It makes beeps randomly. My model has the RAM soldered. As stated on previous comments, this is not related to the OS. Tested with Batocera Linux.
