Hi,
I've been trying to find a solution to a weird problem I've been having recently. I'm hoping someone here has had the same problem and figured out a way to fix it.
Anyway, the problem I'm having is noise being emitted either from my mobo or the Videocard that is EXTREMELY bothersome. It sounds like some kind of static(?), and occurs mainly when I load graphical applications. In games, for example, it almost always occurs when I'm browsing a menu, but not when I'm actually playing. In 3dMarks (any version), its there throughout the whole test. I also get short bursts of it (almost inaudible) when dragging icons on the desktop, or scrolling in a browser. It's a very high pitched buzzing sound that seems to be coming from somewhere in between the videocard and a section of a the motherboard. I can't pin-point the exact location though. If anything, it sounds like its coming from some resistor or electrical component on the video card.
Before anyone suggests that it might be a fan, it's not. I have silenced all the fans while the noise was being emitted and got nothing.
Anyway, if anyone here knows what this might be, advice would be greatly appreciated. It's been a pain in the *** to have to listen to it all the time. I've even contemplated sending both the mobo and video card back, as I don't have additional components to test with
Main components:
Epox 9NPA+ Ultra Mobo
380 Watt Antec Truepower PS
X800XL
Chaintech AV-710 Sound Card
Thanks in advance
