Any help is appreciated.

My system is as follows:

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80569Q9550

RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI

OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model

Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2K2/4G

It's worked fine for a few years. At build I installed an

EVGA 01G-P3-1155-TR GeForce GTS 250 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

I decided with the new consoles coming out soon it would be time for a video card upgrade, so I purchased an

ASUS GTX650TI-OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

At installation, I got a loud continuous beep, according to the motherboard's manual, it stated there was an error in inserting the graphics card, so I reseated it. Same problem. I tried both PCI-E slots and kept getting the same issue.

I tried to reinstall my older card and got the same issue.

The machine will boot fine, but I keep getting this continuous beep followed by an eventual system shutdown.

Is my motherboard dead?

Is there something I can do?

If it's time for a new motherboard, CPU and memory I can do that, but if it's not absolutely necessary I'd like to fix what I have.

Thanks in advance,

Mers.

Sad to say, if you checked everything and you get the beep like that on boot, then to me it may been static accident and board may not be happy. My last hope would be to unplug the power, remove the CMOS battery, leave it for like 15-30min to really ensure it is deenergized, put the CMOS battery back in, then the power, enter BIOS and correct things (date, settings) reboot, do you still get that same beep code? If so, yeah MOBO no happy MoBo go trash!

I forgot to mention I'd already tried each memory stick alone and kept getting the same issue. Continuous beep, followed by shut down. Machine will boot to the desktop, for 5 min or so depending on how many tabs with video or heavy graphics I start browsing.

Installing a bigger PSU the

COOLER MASTER GX Series RS750-ACAAD3-US 750W ATX12V v2.31 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

did the trick.

Thanks for all the help.
