Motherboard beeping but no obvious problems

Hi Guys

My PC has started beeping at me through my default audio device, it is continuous short beeps which my motherboard manual says is a power issue. The PC is working fine apart from the annoying beeps

it is a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P

My CPU was overclocked as in my sig, a i7 920 running at 3.8 so I reset my Bios to default and the beeping went away for a short while but now it keeps coming back intermittently.

About 3-4 weeks ago my 1 stick of my RAM failed it was triple channel so I replaced the lot.

I have just replaced my GFX card with a MSI 6970 as well so I took that out and put my XFX 4870 back in but it still beeps intermittently

I think it is a mobo issue but not 100% sure, what do you guys think?

I don't have a spare mobo or PSU to try and to be honest if it is the mobo I may as well get a new one and CPU.

Cheers

PSU is more than enough for your current setup assuming it's not dying. If the motherboard manual points to a power issue then ideally you need to get your hands on another PSU to test with. Sorry not much help but I can't really see another way around it.

Thanks mate, I am trying to decide whether to just try and resolve this or buy a new PSU, mobo and CPU, I have upgrade my RAM, GFX card and got an SSD over the last month so might as well get the rest
