Like I said before, the mobo just has this huge long beeep that it sounds off when the computer is off. However, once i turn it on, it's all ok and everything works fine.

I know it's got something to do with the graphics card i just put in, from a 6600 gt to a 6800 nu. However, I'm not sure what's happening, since the 6800 makes the mobo sound off but works fine. Help please!
 
did that, just as the 6600 gt needs a power supply connector too. Would it be something wrong with the actual video card itself that's making the mobo beep?

This only happens when the computer is off, too
 
hm.....interesting, cuz that's the same exact problem i have, i guess ill see when i put a dedicated molex on it
 
Yeah, I posted it in the other thread as well. My 6800 did the same thing. The sound came from the 6800 itself. So I replaced it with a Geforce 2 32mb card and that worked fine. I rma'd the 6800. Is this becoming a common problem with the 6800's?
 
well i guess they should sticky this in the videocard FAQ. if your 6800 makes weird noises from little speaker on it. procede to tear it off with your teeth

Hmmm, I tried my 7800gt without the power plug and it worked fine. It just popped up a message saying that it wasn't plugged in.

when you rma'd it and put it back in, did it work fine again?

I'm still waiting for XFX. They told me that they are shipping out a new card, the good news is that they are sending me back a 6800gs. So you can either take your chances and rip out the speaker with your teeth or you can rma the card (the better choice), providing you still have a warranty on the card.

The thing is that even with the molex connector plugged in, the buzzing sound was still there. Even when the system was powered off, it was making the same sound.
