Computer has Long Continuous Beep (Forever) yet boots ...

[ScyBlade]

So, I currently just created a new comp: Here's its stats:

Processor: i7-920
RAM: OCZ 6GB
Motherboard: GA-EX58-UD3R (v. 1.7)
Graphics Card: XFX HD 5850 Model (HD-585X-ZAFC) [It's the one where they used a 5870 PCB)

Normally, I'd be able to figure out the problem. But it boots, it posts, it tells me that it can't find anything in the hard drive yet (which is all proper behavior). But it just has this long continuous beep.

I reinstalled the memory and the graphics card, and it's still display stuff on screen. Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

Dumb question, is the keyboard known-good or is there anything resting on it?

from the manual "1 short: System boots successfully
2 short: CMOS setting error
1 long, 1 short: Memory or motherboard error
1 long, 2 short: Monitor or graphics card error
1 long, 3 short: Keyboard error
1 long, 9 short: BIOS ROM error
Continuous long beeps: Graphics card not inserted properly
Continuous short beeps: Power error"

But none of those sound like what you're describing. Does the video card have the aux power connectors connected?

Keyboard isn't causing the problem, it's a sidewinder X6. I've realigned the graphics card. Probably going to reinstall different cables on the auxillary to see if it changes... its a 5850
