High pitch sound

[Namakan]

got back from my trip and my pc is making a high pitched sound, to high for my mic to pic up to send a recording? Any ideas? I tried shutting the fans of one by one, but it was still there

EDIT: Not speakers, they are off

my hard drive kind of makes a high pitched whining sound. The fan on my video card used to also when it was brand new.

my GFX has a heatsink


The HD seems to be running fine

Are you using a headset?

[Namakan]

no, no sound at all

[nemes1s3000]

I would definitely check the fan on the video card and see if it's running alright. Open up the case of your PC and wait for the sound to emmit, then spot it and let us know.

I said my card has a heatsink, no fan

and my case has been open

Hehe, weird I missed that heat-sink post.

But I'll hunt around for answers, I'm sure I can find something or the other to solve your problem.

could inactivity (off) for 18 days effect it?

Ok....
First off we need to know what comonents are in your system. There are several things in a computer that can make a high pitched squeeling noise that is difficult to localize. Power supplies will do that if they are being over drawn or are on their way out. There was also a batch of Nvidia 8800 series of video cards that did that as well. After we know what is in your system, we can figure out where the offending noise is eminating from.

I'm betting its a coil vibrating in the power supply. I have never trusted Ultra Power Supplies and I bet ya its on the outs.
