Bought a MSI N560GTX-Ti-HAWK vid card. Hooked it up and when I try to play BF3 the computer starts beeping the minute you enter the game. If I get out of the game it's ok but if I don't the PC shuts down in about two minutes then reboots. I can play any other game with no problems. If I put the GTX 260 back in I can play BF3 again. Was told I needed a bigger power supply so I went from a Corsair 750 watt to a Corsair HX 1050 Pro and still does the same thing. I have checked my ram and updated ALL drivers to no avail. Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated as I am at a loss at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If it was me I would contact whoever I bought it from to replace it. Explain to them what you have tried. The next step would be to try another video card. I am sure that its not the first time they get a bad card out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If your plugged into a UPS, try direct to the wall plug. Are the beeps random or are they long and short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also reinstalled BF3 and that did nothing. Gump--I updted my MB bios the other day and that did nothing. The beeps are very long then a pause and very long again. Again guys, I only have this problem with BF3 and nothing else and it has been on two seperate 560 Ti cards. I put the GTX 260 in and BF3 works. I have tried video drivers from old to new to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I do know that EVGA had bios updates for certain 560's for low voltage causing high pitched squealing when under heavy load,not sure about MSI.

That and if it wasn't nothing else would work on the card either but it's just BF3. Another thing that might help, if I do any tests on the video card or go to test my Windows 7 rating, whenever it gets to the part of testing the 3D part it starts that beep also.

If nothing else works do you have another pc to try the card in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you run FurMark to see what your temps get up to? Have you renamed your BF3 settings folder to "settings old" since your new card and drivers were installed? (C:\Users\J&K NELSON\Documents\Battlefield 3\settings) Is your CPU overclocked? Jump on TS sometime and id be happy to walk you through getting it fixed.

When I got thinking about the 3D part I went into Nvidia folder and turned off the 3D Vision and that fixed it. Thanks for all the suggestions from everyone.

Someone said long beeps were video but I have got it with two sticks of incompatible memory. I seen a post about maybe dual channel not set up correct causing it? Hell try it with one stick etc and see what happens, not saying your memory is bad, maybe not configured correctly? I agree too see if there is a mobo update, I also seen a video bios update but dont know about that. What does it say in event viewer? Anything?
