Video seemed to be the best way to describe the problem. Rig is using a Gigabyte X79 board, I7 series CPU, 4 sticks of 8gb DDR3, 120-160gb SSD boot disc (can't remember without openning the case again and I'm too frustrated at this point to dive into it again), two 2Tb data discs, ZonarDX sound card (I'm strange, I know), and the noisy card is a EVGA GTX960.
Problem arose when I cleared the 960 drivers out and installed a new EVGA GTX1060 card. Went through this forum and a couple others looking for a solution, went through all the checks they recommended for similar problems. Nothing worked so I tried reverting back to the old card. Problem persisted and now I have no idea how to proceed. Before I cleared the 960's drivers, rig reliably ran for over a year without real issue. The 960 is the rig's second video card (first died to my own foolishness, not anything intrinsic to the rig that I could identify), and its had a bit of excess personality ever since I installed it. The fan issue was known when I acquired it from a friend, but a multi-cycle POST was new. Basically it had a similar issue to the current one except that after the second POST beep, it would continue to boot normally and bring up the OS. Again, ran stably like that for more than a year until I decided to replace the card, mostly to get rid of the fan noise that no one could figure out a fix for, but I figured if I was going to replace, may as well upgrade in the same move.
Other issue, that probably should have concerned me more than it did, is that I haven't been able to access the BIOS setup since the first video card died. Attempts with the 960 lead to a black screen no matter what kind of monitor was plugged in or what port was used (DVI-I to monitor, HDMI to monitor, and HDMI to television). This problem has continued with attempts to use the new 1060 and the reversion back to the 960. My friend and I and her favored tech support had speculated that the fan issue could be addressed in the BIOS, but as we could never access any of the BIOS setup, and the computer otherwise continued to operate without issue, I considered it at the time to be a tolerable annoyance.
