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...

I hear a really high pitched sound comming from my display or PC i cant fugre out which one though it s to hard to pin point
 
has your friend tried unplugging the system speaker? those small speakers don't have good sheilding so they can catch interference pretty easy.
 
so I plug my KVM directly into my computer bypassing the KVM switch...

i will tell him that, he posted this above.... were thinking it may be a proc so he is gunna order one to see if that is it
