Hey guys, bought a seasonic 650w PSU a few months ago.
It was working great, until recently.
symptoms started with my PC not powering on. The solution was to remove the 2nd GPU and then re-install it and that fixed that.

now when i turn my PC on the PSU makes a high pitched beeping noise (really loud so I think its a speaker making the noise?)

is there something wrong with it? Should I return it or is my system over taxing it?
Specs:
i7-920
2xSSD
3xHDD
1xoptical drive
3 sticks DDR3

Geforce GTX 460
GeForce 8800GTS(512) - this is the one I've had to remove.
 
additionally to this. it sometimes doesn't turn on. and it turns out the GPU wasn't the issue although I'm not sure if there's still an overloading problem or if its a malfunction
 
you could be at its limits, my antec 650w couldnt handle an additionally 9600GSO to my sig rig

now your sig rig is interesting to me because i essentially have the same thing and am upgrading to this seasonic psu in order to run a gtx 285 under load. i'd have gone with a 460 by now but it's running osx on a second hard drive and apple doesn't support that card in the 400 series-- nor does the hackintosh community

so how DOES a 460 run under load? because i can't play anything from the last 8 years without my setup BSOD'ing on me and hopefully that will change tomorrow once i swap the new psu in

the earthwatts was apparently undervolting its +12v something serious

I have no problems with it, it was just with the 9600gso that was causing psu related issues
