I had the same problem a few days ago. I was messing around with the power supply, and when it wouldn't start I thought it was broke for good.

Continuous beeping and the 7F error message.

Turned out though that it was just a jumper that had come off while I disconnected the ATX connector. As soon as I put it back on the system started no problem.
The moral of this story: double-check your jumpers.

do they lock necro threads here?
