Off-Topic Guess what? My new PC doesn't work, like everything I buy :@
All it gives me is continous short beeps which according to the manual means a power error.
Have tried a diffrent PSU, 1 stick of DDR3, re-seating GPU/CPU, checked all cables etc. No luck.
What can I do?

I think Nvidia might be slightly worried by ATI's latest card though
