    I've been having this same problem on and off as well. You're going WAY overboard trying to fix it as it has nothing to do with you. It's Google. I've been having some success, but just wait a little while and try again with different channels.

    Have you tried plugging the CPU fan into other fan headers?

    I think the Phantom Glass screen protectors are known for filling in scratches like that. I would pick up one of those and you should be good.

    Okay, thanks guys for the replies, I'll try MacDrive and update with results.

    A few years ago before I was as tech savvy as I am now, my grandma bought me a Macbook, and a 3-year warranty for it at future shop (she isn't really tech savvy either). So a week ago I had no option but to walk home from school in the rain. Apparently that 10-minute walk was enough to cause water damage in my mac. Future Shop told me to fuck off once they saw the water damage, and said "Oh, we don't cover water damage" whilst twiddling his nipples, despite the fact that my grandma paid $300 for a warranty. So, now I am trying to get back approximately 20 hours of school work that will have to be redone if not recovered. Right now my PC and my X-macbook are both sitting naked on my desk, and the drive from the mac is connected to my PC. Obviously, Mac and Windows use different file systems, so windows will not let me explore the drive, but recognizes it in disk management and disk part. Disk part will not let me set the drive as active because it is not a MBR drive, and the only option in disk management is to delete the volumes. Please help, I have a feeling the solution is a 3rd party software that can read the mac file system, or possibly going out and buying a small enclosure and hooking it up to a friend's mac via USB. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. EDIT: OMG, it worked! Thank you all so much. The solution was to use MacDrive to read the file system. Thank you from saving me from spending the rest of the week rewriting English Journals.

    The CPU Cooler as I have yet to try water cooling and am really looking forward to upgrading to it at some point.

    SOLVED! Thank you so much, I unplugged 2 of the fans from the fan header and the noise stopped. Later, I'll rewire them into the built-in fan headers on my mobo, and hope it does not come back. If it does, I'll replace the fans.

    Just looked in the manual, nothing about beep codes. Googled "Asrock beep codes" and no results to do with long, continuous beeps, only sequences of short beeps.

    When I start up my computer, just after it boots into windows I hear this annoying high-pitch beep coming from my motherboard. All my temps are normal, I turned off my overclock, and it's still there. I have just tried reseating my ram, my gpu, and my cpu cooler, and the noise is still there. I think it's my psu but I could be wrong, as it's almost brand new. This problem started a little after I started overclocking, but now that I have returned all my clocks to normal, I don't know what to think. Specs: Intel i5 3570k Noctua nh-d14 EVGA Supernova v2 850w Asrock z77 lga1155 EVGA Reference GTX 980 Phanteks Entho Pro Gigabyte 1333mhz (no spreader, very old) Kingston HyperX 3k 256gb WD Green 3tb UPDATE: After a bit of testing i found that the beeping goes away when all fans controlled directly by the mobo are off (that means all the fans except the GPU fan, and yes, unfortunetly includes my CPU fan). My computer won't overheat like this uneless under extreme load, but in a medium-stress game it went from 30 degrees to 65. This is really weird and makes me think that the problem is the board. If I can't find the solution by tomorrow, I'm going to take my board into NCIX. UPDATE 2: After a little more research I think that the RAM, which I already thought might be a factor to be more likely to be that cause of the problem. It's strange that the computer still boots, but I have had problems with this RAM before, such as having to reseat it multiple times for the computer to boot up. I don't I have the money to buy more RAM, so I might just take my whole computer to NCIX to have them look at it.

    Already have a 980, but I could really use one for my second system!

    I just bought this PSU, and I can't get into the bios to check if it works properly. Maybe I could take it back to NCIX and get them to test it if I get desperate. Also read my edit.

    Yesterday I received my long-awaited gtx980, and upon installing it, the drivers, and a new psu (EVGA 850w supernova v2) I encountered various errors. When I boot it up, it stays on the bios options screen for at least a minute (the one where it says "press f2 to enter bios menu"), and if I try to enter it, or press any key, a short beep comes from the mobo, and if I hold down the key, if makes a series of beeps so close together it sounds like one continuous beep. Once the bios splash screen goes away, a few more short beeps are made, and the screen goes black. A few more beeps, and the windows loading screen pops up and it boots like normal. With the only exception being that the right hand side of my taskbar is missing some icons, such as the network icon and the dolby audio profiles icon (as pictured below). Whenever I try to play a game, the computer crashes, no blue screen, just a short black screen, and the computer powers off. edit: tried playing games again and it works fine! other errors still apply though Another problem I have had for a while, is that whenever I restart my computer (or just turn it back on from being off), my network drivers stop working, and the only way for me to access the internet is to reinstall my network drivers. Things I have tried: - Reseating gpu - Resetting CMOS - Restarting computer - Reinstalling different network drivers - Uninstalling old AMD GPU drivers Specs: intel i5 3570k (not overclocked) EVGA reference GTX 980 EVGA 850w supernova v2 intel z77bh-55k 8gb (2x 4gb) kingston ram @ 1333mhz

    I found out about you a year ago when I looked up "how to install a liquid cooling block on a gpu" on YouTube and your video was the first that popped up. Later I went to a friends house and asked him, "Hey what are you watching?" He was watching one of the earlier build guides. I recognized you from the first video I watched earlier, and thought that you really knew your stuff. Now me, and all of my friends are subscribed and watch all your videos, and the wan show. Thank you for encouraging me, and my friends to build our own computers. It's always good to see a local Vancouverite do something amazing.
