I have no idea what is going on.

Me and my boys have dank PC systems to play with because we all-around enjoy PC gaming and talking to each other. One of the boys doesn't have a system, so we decided to give him one. We gave him a HP ENVY Pheonix 800-070st. Everything in there is stock but the video card. We put a ASUS Radeon HD 7770 in the thing.

The first problem we ran to was that it would turn on and light up, but after a few seconds we received a total of six beeps. I have already looked up the beeps for the PC and it gave me a list of beeps ranging from One to Five, and then some "1-2-2-3", "2-1-1-4", or whatever else it had (it had a long list) that I didn't really understand.

We took the video card out and the beeps didn't come until a few more seconds longer than it usually comes on. Still a total of Six beeps, but it will stop and the computer will still be on. The only problem is, for some reason there's No Signal coming through the TV and Monitor. (We used both the VGA and HDMI [but not at the same time]) There's just no signal being put through, and the card works, for sure. Also, the fans will get so loud during start-up, sounds like a Jet Engine is trying to start. haha. We also took the RAM Sticks out one at a time to see if that's what is causing the beeps, but I mean I wouldn't be here if it solved the problem.

All the fans spin, and the LEDs come on the fans and stuff, just doesn't send a signal through the monitor, with six beeps. So I can't send the BIOS into Legacy mode, which is what all the other posts I found about six beeps and video card issues says. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

SPECS:
Processor - Intel Core i7-3930K 3.2 GHz.
Memory - 16 GB
Mobo - Pegatron IPIWB-PB Pittsburgh 2.
Video Card - ASUS Radeon HD 7770
PowerSupply - Some Stock Japanese HP 600Watts

Sounded like six, same length, beeps. It didn't sound like beeps were longer or shorter from each other.

Are you sure it isn't the PSU that's causing the problem? Can you run on onboard graphics without the GPU?

if its an ami bios board then the keyboard controller has an error. try booting without the keyboard attached. if it still beeps replace the keyboard controler chip (if its a plug in 1) if you can.
if its a dell bois then the video card is the problem. either it doesnt have enough power or its borked.

The specifications for the Pittsburgh 2 Motherboard (Which I never even heard of, by the way) says that there is no integrated graphics for the board. Has to have a card, there's no VGA, DVI, or HDMI port without one. Which I also think is strange.
You may be on to something, I forgot to mention, but it does turn itself off and back on if you leave the PC on after the beeps. Unfortunately I don't have any spare PSU's to just test the theory out. But the PSU does seem to make sense.

I don't think it's a Dell or AMI board. I don't know it's a strange board, I can't find really much anything about it other than it's specifications from HP and a couple of pages from Google.

is the make/model printed on the board. if so post it.

Yeah more often than not the PSU is usually the culprit, especially on prebuilt machines. People don't want to admit it because the PSU is often the least attractive part of the build, but without a good one, your build won't work. Prebuilt manufactuers tend to go cheap on the PSUs, and the cases are usually designed with proprietary form factors in mind that really can't be upgraded easily. A few use ATX form factors and if yours is one then I would definitely look at purchasing a PSU.
