I recently built a new system consisting of the following:
MSI H67MA-E35
Intel i5 2500k
geforce gtx 460
2x2gb of cosair DDr3 1333MHz ram
64 bit Windows 7

everything was going fine (games were working well, and no crashes) until i plugged in one of my external USB hard drives, the computer immediately rebooted and would not stop bleeping (constantly) until i unplugged the drive, it would then reboot normally. after updating all of my drivers to the latest ones and flashing the bios to the latest version the bleeping only happens if the drive is plugged in while it is booting up, when the drives are plugged in while windows is running windows says that the device connot be installed.

The USB hard drives are working fine in the 3 other computers i tried them in, also my 1gig pendrive also causes the same problem. But my USB mouse and keyboard work find and surprisingly my phone when running in USB mode (acts like a 8gig pendrive) works fine :s this problem has me stumped as i cant think of anything else to try.

tried both i get the same problem, however i did just realise the USB 3.0 ports don't seem to work, i only have 1.0 and 2.0 devices but aren't they meant to be backwards compatible?

Edit: it would seem the USB 3.0 ports do work, just not for my harddrives they don't even recognise a USB device has been plugged in with them:(
Also my USB pendrive now works fine, no idea what i did if anything but i am hoping the others just start working :)

It may be a too obvious question, but did you install or your MB drivers from the DVD after your Windows installation, including the Renesas USB3.0 Drivers ?

What other USB devices have you plugged in when this happens? Test again by removing all USB devices before plugging in your USB HDD. Test the HDD also with a different USB connector cable if you haven't done that yet.
You may also want to check your CPU seating again. Check the CPU contact pads for indentations. It happens sometimes that the CPU is not setaed properly, causing some pins not to make proper contact, causing some weird behaviour.

the only other devices are my mouse and keyboard, without them the computer still wont boot if the hard drives are plugged in. I have checked the CPU and as best as i can tell its fine :S I did realise however that while it beeps at start-up the number 99 is shown in the corner of the screen, i guess this is an error code but my manual was lacking in any information of error codes :(
