Hello everyone, I've never had to ask a question on this site as I have always found my questions already answered. But for this problem I am having trouble finding a solution so I decided to ask for some help 
So a few months ago I upgraded my gpu from an EVGA 770 to a MSI R9-390 due to upgrading my monitors to a triple surround setup and the games that I wanted to play were on the demanding side. So as soon as I plugged the card in and started playing Shadows of Mordor a long continuous beep came out of (I believe) the motherboard). I tried Crysis 3 and the same, MSI Kombuster and even Firestrike. The beep started immediately upon startup. So I did some searching and some suggestions was that my power supply was on its last leg (was a 750w EVGA supernova bronze). It made sense to me since the 390 is power hungry.
So I avoided playing the games it happened on... I played Borderlands pre-sequel, and Skyrim (no problems). I have been planning on doing full liquid cooling on my system for a while so I decided to change my system around a bit. I bought a new PSU (Corsair AX760 platinum) and two asus 970OC cards (since the 390 doesn't have a full waterblock made for it). So I did everything and now I can play shadows of mordor fine but the rest of the games haven't changed.
I have watched my temps: at idle the cpu and the GPU's runs in the upper 20's C, When starting intensive games/programs the temps start to go up into the 40's C before I shut it off. I recorded the temps while I ran tests and it never gets anywhere close to 70 C, granted I only ran the test for a minute due to being afraid something will fry... I monitor my temps using Asus's thermal radar on AI suite II, CPUID HWMonitor, and Asus GPU Tweak to monitor the graphics cards.
I have ran Memtest86 and found no errors.
The only thing I can think of is either my motherboard or cpu is going bad, or there is a warning temp threshold that is set too low and is sounding the alarm-if so how can I change this?
I am at wits end and don't know where to go next, Any suggestions, thoughts, or links would be greatly appreciated.
My system is as follows:
Corsair Obsidian 800D
Asus Z77 Sabertooth Motherboard
Intel Core I-5 3570K (not overclocked) (liquid Cooled with EK waterblock)
2 Asus GTX970 OC strix (liquid cooled with EK waterblocks)
Corsair Vengeance 16gb ddr3 1600mhz RAM
Corsair AX760 PSU
3 Seagate 1TB HDD 7200
Samsung EVO 850 500gb SSD
3 ASUS MX279H 27" IPS monitors
Water blocks installed using provided EK ectotherm thermal paste
I hope I listed all relevant info
