My computer:
Nvidia nForce 680i Motherboard
GeForce 9800GTX 512mb Video Card
2 GB DDR2 Memory
Intel 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo Processor
600W OCZ Power Supply
--------------------------------------------------------------------
One thing to note - I see that there isn't a 8 pin connector for the CPU spot. I only have two 4 pin connectors (but only one of them works for that of the 8 pins available). So I think I need to get a different power supply from Newegg because this one is not right... Doesn't have any 8 pin connectors, only two 6 & 4 pin.
The noise/problem:
At random moments when my computer is running it makes a weird noise like sort of high pitched, not really loud, just something I notice when its running.
I've had it freeze at times and require a manual shutdown.
ALL 3 LEDS are constantly lit up on my mother board (green, blue, orange) as well the temp LCD thing always says "FF".
(I notice the Graphics Card runs default at 25%. Does that ever change with the workload, etc.? I never hear it change when I go in a game or anything. I am pretty sure that was causing the freezing so I used Riva Tuner to change the fan speed to like 70% with gaming, etc.)
I still get a freeze up once in a while. Usually when I have a few programs open after it being on for a little while.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So basically, what makes it freeze up and make me shut down? It usually makes a weird crazy sound when it freezes up before it auto-shuts off. (Not always)
I appreciate any help!
