Original Specs:

Ram: 16 GB DDR3-2400 MHZ
Video card: XFX R9 290X
OS: Windows 7 64 Bit Pros SP1
PSU: 1300 Watts
Problem: Random blue screens of death. Code indicated problem with video card, ATI software reset wattage all the time. Loud BURLP noise as computer crashed.
Solution Implemented by user: Replace Video Card
New Video Card: XFX Fat Boy (Chuckle as you want)
New problems/symptoms
1a/2a) During both problems 1 and 2 the speaker on the motherboard would give off three loud squeaks, and QR/QA code is 66. Rebooting fixes this issue until the next cycle.
4) Game Battletech was consistent causing a crash, ATI was reporting a power problem. User changed out power cables and ports on PSU for powering the vid card, some stability restored.
Clarifying statement
I am looking at this problem from several angles. Either I have a PSU problem, a motherboard problem (handling graphics information), a ram problem. I don't have a problem replacing parts, just don't see the need to replace parts that work.
