Hiya just built my new pc and makes a weird beeping noise when I turn it off :eek:

Hardware that could make such a random noise is Asus X38 P5E, Antec P182, Fatality X-Fi sound card or Corsair PSU. It only happens when the system is fully off and just want to know if anyone else has it with the above hardware as would be nice to stop it.
 
Is it the rig in your sig?

EDIT: If it is not and, by chance, it is a rig with an nVidia 8800 graphics card then that sound is normal as the card is denied power as it the rig shuts down.

Ahh it would be the 8800GTX, and no I haven't updated the sig yet as I haven't fully built pc yet (awaiting on some parts for the watercooling and testing everything is fully compatible under stress)
 
It's not indicative of a problem and there's no way to fix it. Just leave it be.

All it is is the card complaining that it doesn't have enough power to operate, which is fine while you're shutting down. If you forgot to plug in the auxiliary PSU connections it would make the same noise in a sustained fashion.
