Check the power going to the videocard, it sounds like it isn't turning on to me.

I have the two power cables plugged into the video card. The video card was working perfectly with the 680i motherboard I RMA'd. There was no beeping, even with 4 HDDs. I've tried the mobo with just one stick of RAM and not even an HDD or DVD drive and the video card still beeps continuously.
I've been looking around and I shouldn't be getting "FF" instantly with my mobo either, so I'm thinking it is the motherboard.

I did. I reseated the video card and tried all three of the PCI-Express slots and the same thing happens. The video card makes this noise when either not enough power is reaching it or it isn't seated properly (or not connected to a mobo at all) so I'm guessing it's the motherboard as this problem didn't happen with my previous mobo and the card has been untouched since I RMA'd my previous mobo (the previous mobo problem was BIOS related so it's not relevant to the video card problem).

From what I've read, I shouldn't get this instantly. I turn on the PC and the mobo instantly flashes "FF".

Yeah, it should go through a few post codes while booting then finally come to the FF code. This could be a problem with the board. Reseat your memory and see what happens.

Sorry, instant FF can also mean it is dead if it doesn't beep. My bad

I would've loved to have done that if I had gotten the chance then I can actually know I did something wrong but I just got the mobo 4 hours ago and I spent the past 4 hours trying to install it and then trying to figure out what's wrong ever since I first powered it up. Nothing has changed yet... ugh this will be my third major PC component I'd be RMAing since December!:swearing::swearing::swearing:
All three have been nVidia parts........
