Finally found some good info on this damn PSU.  See the last post here:

And just to be sure I understood.. Having two 12V rails at 18amps means the card should get ~36 amps, right?

Check with your motherboard.  Beep codes vary by vendor.

Yeah it's a graphics error.. Graphics memory or graphics something, I forget.  The damn user manual doesnt even have a table for beep codes. Unbelievable.
I'm totaly fed up with computer glitches..

edit- this is on a replacement motherboard I got today.  Asus M2N SLI. It doesnt even do the pre-recorded error voice messages.

Removed it from the new motherboard today (figured i'd let it all sit off-power for a while and try turning it on one last time), and the monitor came out of standby to display 'no signal'. Would this mean that only a component on the card failed? If so, how hard would it be to replace it?
