First off.. the time on X is random. 5 minutes to 3 hours.
beep tones are Low then High (not sure if they are short or long but are same duration.. i think long if based off the bios single beep tone) and the beeping continues until after i reboot. the OS still runs while it beeps, but becomes very "choppy". i also seem to loose internet connection more frequently once the beeping starts (wireless network).
i have unpluged everything and reseated them. give my video card it's own power line from the power supply.
3 hard drives 1 dvd, sound card, wireless usb nic, usb mouse and usb keyboard.
This setup has worked for months, no "new" hardware, and now this starts up... any ideas?
