Computer Hope

I just built this computer, so I'm quite mad that something is already messing up with it. I'll be in the middle of a game when suddenly this weird random beeping will come out of my headset, my mouse will start lagging like crazy, I can't click, and my keyboard doesn't respond to anything. I have to restart for it to stop happening.
Just tonight, it seemed to happen really badly, to the point where I turned my computer back on, and it turned itself back off. I turned it on again, and it said overclocking failed (I never tried to?). My first thought was a heating issue, but I don't see anything getting too hot in Hardware Monitor.
I recreated the beeps in Audacity as best I could from memory. It's close enough to get an idea of what I hear: http://ge.tt/7w6kRvd/v/0 (they continue until I restart)
Hardware Monitor while idle (I have chrome, League of Legends [only pvp.net], RaidCall, and HW Monitor open. Actual Multiple Monitors and VMWare were in the background): http://oi45.tinypic.com/35ldog5.jpg
Hardware Monitor while the same things are open, but also playing LoL in-game (usually when the beeps and freezing starts): http://oi49.tinypic.com/2h7ic5h.jpg
My PC: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=21661325 (everything except the SSD and graphics cards since I haven't bought them yet).
On thing I want to add is that I was dual-screening using he onboard video. I'm since switched to single monitor just in case that might have been the issue.

Temperatures look fine.
One thing comes to mind - The Newegg list shows you have 2x4GB sticks of RAM.
Are those sticks on the same colored slots in the motherboard? (i.e. blue and blue or black and black).
If you have one stick on the black slot and one on the blue, it might be the source of these errors.
One more question, do you have all the appropriate drivers installed for your System? Did you install them manually or did you let Windows auto-detect?

Almost forgot;

Do you still get this problem with the single monitor?

I *just* started using just 1 monitor, so I'm not sure yet. Also, there's nothing really to install since I don't have anything "off the board" yet. Everything mobo related (onboard graphics, nic, etc.) was installed using the provided CD.

Alright. It's possible the extended video output crashed the integrated graphics unit. It's happened to me before.
If it happens again on the single display, check to make sure the RAM is installed properly (as stated in my first response).

Oh I forgot to mention in my previous post that it was installed correctly. I didn't mean to go so tryhard with my video, but I really wanted dual monitors, haha. I'll just wait until I get my graphics card to actually do it. :P

I know what you mean.
I can't imagine stepping away from my 3-display setup. :p
