Is my X850XT causing motherboard beeps?!

Hey, when I play some games, CSS mostly, maybe some BFV (yes, V!!! not 2) I get a series of beeps from my motherboard. I check PC Probe and its not my CPU overheating thats not changing too much. I can't really think of what else it could be but my graphics card.

I also ran ATI Tool to do some stress tests on my X850XT, and when it got to 560+Mhz it started to do the beeps every second of two. So I think it could be the problem.

I would try and tell you the temperature I get in ATI C&C but that won't load for me at startup >_<

The rest of my system is as follows:

3800+ @ Stock w/Asus Star Ice
2x1GB PC3200 RAM
X850XT PE
480W PSU

Any ideas?

I get beeps when I changed my drivers from 4.12 to 5.13 after the beep I hear the fan speed increase slightly.
