As soon as I turn my computer on, it just beeps, really fast, constantly.... B-b-b-b-b-beep!

What does this mean?

I'm using a DS3-p965 mobo, e4300 chip, and 2gb of pc5300 ballistix. It's all watercooled also...

Could it be an airlock or somthing? It has been failing to boot recently, but now it just beeps like some sort of alarm!

search for DS3-p965 error codes. might give you something.

K, I'll have a look... I've got the manual somewhere, which should have it in.

I lol'ed.

What graphics card is it?

X800 GTO, also watercooled... I can switch it for a 7800gt tho, just to see if this makes any difference.

Maybe an unhappy overclock, try resetting cmos and see if it boots

Tried this, it doesn't stop it beeping....

you sure you havent got some crap resting on the keyboard lol

100% sure... I'll unplug the keyboard anyway, as there could be a short or something...

Well I looked up the beep codes, and it says continuous short beeps are a "power failure". I'll try switching out the tagan for a 430w seasonic and see if that helps things at all...

if your on water - have you changed cpu fan fail in the bios ?

Ahh, I hadn't thought of this.... I guess the BIOS will now be at default settings as I reset the CMOS, so I'll try hooking up the stock intel heatsink fan to see if that make it boot...

I had the same kind of beeping with my gigabyte mobo not so long ago and it was that in the end.

I tried the memory, but in my panic i must have put the same dimm in twice over, pulled the whole thing apart and took the mobo and cpu back to the shop only for it to work, turns out one of my Geils had failed.

K, I'll pull the DIMMs and try each one on thier own...

I'm gonna do this tomorrow now, as I've had enough of computers for one day...

Unplugged keyboard, it still does it.....

Reseated the RAM, and cleared the CMOS (again), still nothing...

I have still yet to try another PSU as it's in another rig... I also can't find my intel stock cooler, but I'm gonna have a good hunt on the weekend, and hopefully it should turn up...

It's definitely lot of short beeps (bbbbbbbeep) as opposed to 1 long beep (beeeeeeeeeeep), but I could grab an MP3 of it with my iRiver if that would help?
