Hello,
I bought a new PC couple of months back but it has started making wierd noices on startup.
It always does it on the first time it's turned on but once it is restarted it has never occured. It's quite hard to describe the sound it makes. It starts with a quiet piip (during this sound the PC is very slow if not frozen) and after a few seconds it makes a "click" sound (and the PC works fine untill the next "piip" starts).
The sound is very hard to describe so I tryed recording it with my webcam. Listen to it here . The piip sound is quite hard to hear there and the click sound appears a lot louder than it actually is.
It is the PC itself making these sounds (not my speakers).
Is this a hardware or software problem? How can I fix this? Is this serious and is it hurting my PC in the long run?
