Welcome to the club!.
This message has to be one of the most annoying features ever invented,
especially when it defaults to the 'voice announcement' on some boards...
I have often wanted to take electrodes, and attach them to some components
of the programmer who designed the POST reporting.
Basically, they give this, for any fault that _might_ occur from
overclocking, even if the machine is in a 'bog standard' state. So, memory
timing issues, video card communication problems etc., will all give this
report. Now some of these can be down to configuration (so on some
chipsets, you get this when four memories are added, because the timings
have to be reduced to cope with the extra loading), while others could be
hardware problems. In your case, the PSU, could easily be the cause. The
chip you have, drinks a lot of power, as does the video card, and the
fairly large amount of memory. Now unfortunately, many of the 'power
saving' features only activate once the machine is fully running, and
during initial 'bootup', when the disk drive spins up, as does the DVD,
and the machine performs it's memory tests (which while not exhaustive,
are quite CPU intensive), tending to show up any problems. The 24pin
connector is really required for this CPU (basically the pins on the 20pin
ATX connector _will_ be overloaded when the processor is working hard).
I'd say a larger supply is really required for this system.

Best Wishes
