Asus Rampage 3 Extreme LOUD CONTINUOUS BEEP

[neolfex]

Ok, so I built a new rig:

Asus R3E
3x2gig OCZ DDR3 1600 (it is compatible in manual)
Sapphire HD5970
960 i7 w/ CoolerMaster V10 cpu cooler
Soundblaster X-fi PCI-e
1000w Rosewill PSU
Windows 7 Ultimate
CoolerMaster HAF-X chasis

So i installed windows and everything ok. My first game I loaded was crysis 2. It would freeze as soon as I loaded into a level, along with the loud continuous beep. So i did a futuremark gpu stress test. Sure enough, the HD5970 would freeze right away and I would get the beep. Well then I poped in my old nvidia 8800 gtx. Now I can play crysis and run the futuremark with no problem. But I STILL get the long continuous beep! I run core temp and my CPU never goes over 40C! NOTHING is overclocked. GPU stays around 50C. What gives?

My first guess would be the PSU.

Quality is far more important than quantity. Brands like Seasonic, Corsair, and Antec are often shown to deliver better quality power than off brands.

pin the connectors out with a dvom and look at your voltages...
