when the power connector to the graphics card has no power it makes a loud squeaking noise for a warning, it mighht just me that the power to graphics is cut out before the motherboard

yea, when you turn it off it might cut the power from 12v rails before then mobo so it still gets power from mobo for a second but loses power from the connectors you plug into back

oh ok, so nothing is wrong then.. a tad annoying when shutting down but at least it is not a problem.
