[QUOTE="jsnc, post: 1608863, member: 334288"] It's a continuous beep, no breaks, just one long tone. I've had the computer since 2008, bought brand new from Apple. About a month ago, I was having kernel panics, and posted the report and was told it was a graphics card issue (upgraded from Nvidea GE Force 8800 to Nvidea Quadro fx 5600 which was an option when I originally purchased it). Once I replaced that it had been working fine for the past few weeks, then more trouble started... 1. the screen would lose contact - just go black and say monitor going to power saving mode which forced me to have to hard restart. 2. I had another error report that I posted and someone responded that it looks like a graphics issue 3. Then when I tried to restart, the machine went into continual restart - chime wait 1-2 seconds and chime again, which forced me to restart 4. Now I've had the machine off for a few days and went to power it on tonight and had the continual tone. I may need to pay the 3rd party apple repair to diagnose, but would rather try and figure it out myself and save the money to put towards the repair. [/QUOTE]
