[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1608944, member: 307555"] Hi! I have been reading the post and figured you were getting great advise so I didn't post. One thing you have posted now says you pulled your hard drives and the beeping stopped. Just a thought - I had a hard drive that was a data drive start to die that caused all kinds of weird issues. I replaced it and all was good. Another thought..... when you removed the hard drives you reduced the power load on your power supply. Could that be going bad? If you have a weak power supply this can create all kinds of problems. A good repair shop can test both the hard drives and the power supply to determine if all is good. I would suggest if you take it in, take the hard drives to be tested. They can test them without harming them. I know you can check using disk utility but sometimes it misses the problem. I repair PC's and am just learning about Mac's so I could be all wrong but it sounds so similar to some PC issues I have encountered and what I am suggesting are simple checks. Lisa [/QUOTE]
