posted by a friend on another forum just wondering if u guys could shed some light on this to help him.... he said it also starts as soon as the computer starts he pulled stuff off and it kept doing it til he took the processor off(dunno if this means anything or not)My computer has been making a strange high pitch weezing sound lately. It could be my video card, I can't tell where the sound is generating from. When I move my mouse or open applications there seems to be a direct reflection between the two. On Saturday night, I installed the newest Detonator Nvidia drivers and I chose to reboot later (jackass, I know much better). When I finally got around to it, it wouldn't boot. Then, as I started to attempt to locate the specific issue by unplugging all CD Drives, extra HD's I got the scary Memory failure alert as if I had no memory installed. I took out all memory except one stick, didn't work. I reset the CMOS, and when I did that, it would stop booting up when cheking the NVRAM... Couldn't even get into the BIOS...(Scary) So before I decided to throw my monitor out the window.... Literally... I went to bed. Next moring, I started from ground zero. Stumped after about 15 minnutes of trouble shooting the thing, I plugged everything back in and... Whammo, worked fine. The high pitched sound still resides, but I am still nervous... I will probably wipe the drive clean, and reconfig it, and this time Ghost it when I got everything kicking right...
