Okay well, after some work on the card the 460 no longer beeps. I cleaned everything up, cleaned the heatsink, used new thermal paste, new fans connected to the card's controller and cleaned the pci-e contacts... no beeps! With the fans being controlled by the card now, running variable...

So I'm reconditioning my MSI Hawk GTX 460 this week and I went ahead and swapped in my 9800 GTX and the beeping stopped. So, something about my GTX 460 made my computer beep incessantly. Case closed, I guess... Once I get the 460 all put back together with the OE fans, I'll see if that's the...

Sorry, I missed the link! I will try the force command. I'd been in the bootsect.exe as well, but had not used the force command as I wasn't aware of what it would do. I'm literally the worst person to be doing this kind of stuff. Ha.

I've tried that. It SAYS it is completed, but it doesn't work.

So I had two hard drives in my PC, 250gb and 500gb. Windows 7x32 was installed on the 500gb drive and the 250 was my media drive. Obviously, more data = more problems so I got a 1TB drive for software/games/personal docs and prepared to clone the 250gb onto my 500gb. I installed Windows 7x64...

iPhone 5S, 4" diagonal screen. More than enough for a phone, IMO. I typically point and laugh loudly when I see someone with one of those "phablets" held up to their head.
