APC Back-UPS ES 750 - UPS - 450 Watt - 750 VA Beeping

[Anonymous user]

Hello!

I just bought this UPS from Best Buy. Taped to the side was a test paper that indicated it was tested at the end of 2008.

I plugged in my PC, monitor, speakers, external drive and fired up my pc - all seemed well. After a little time on, I get a loud beeping noise. It is not always consistant, but it is mostly all the time.

Could this be because I have too much load on the unit? My PC is very high end with dual video cards, liquid cooling and 1300 watt power supply. The monitor is 24" Flat.

I only wanted the unit to protect from power surges so I did not buy a high capacity one.

THANKS!
