beep!!

I have one of these Antec.com - TruePower

and one of these
Inno3D Graphic Card - Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX Over Clock DirectX 10 Extreme HD PC Gaming

when i load up a game it seems to work however i have a continuous beep, and i think it is from the PSU

and there was no beep with the old grfx card
Inno3D Graphic Card Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS 512Mb DirectX 10 Extreme HD Gaming

being the google tech i am i found references to the psu beeping when pushed over its limits, but i think this psu should support it, perhaps it is faulty but i would like to be sure or at least have someone confirm my suspicions before i go and pay for another one as seen here Antec TruePower 2.0 True550 - Price Comparison - Buy at cheap prices

I'm guessing your not running SLI or I'm hoping you would have stated it.

When you put in the new GFX card did you give it 2x power connections or did you put an adapter on a single power cable?

Wait I found your answer

PSU supports MAXIMUM 18A on each 12v rail.

The 8800GTX requires 30A on the 12V rail, all information was found within the 2 links you provided.

Definitely something strange going on because it definitely sounded like an under powered problem but if you say it adds up the same even on the new PSU maybe your old one just needed replacing.
