Might be time to test your memory thoroughly:

Run Memtest HCI (leave to own devices once it's running) - Memtest.

Read the instructions - run to 400% (explained in instructions - watch for first 20 minutes, if it doesn't freeze, as 'may' give off errors very quickly if it's the problem)

*Additional - before you do anything what is your memory set at?

Well in cpu-z its 1699.6 dual, but i had to enable xmp in bios for it to run at that.

Yeah, every chance given the speed in which they're chucking them out.

@Kevin Matthews - is yours the card with coil whine? If so you have a valid reason for return if you wanted to try this (although TNS manage to swap his out with zero issues - @tamzzy? - not sure they even questioned it?)

@Kevin Matthews - don't suppose you have a spare GPU and also could you drop your memory to 2993MHz and run this for a couple of days while you decide. And keep an eye out for BIOS/Driver updates...

Yeah have coil whine when opening games, dont have a spare unfortunately, and I've dropped my memory as suggested. How do you contact RMA if i do decide to go down that road? Not like i want to lol.

@Kevin Matthews - it's not often we reach this stage but we have.

Take your PC (all of it), place it in an unmarked case, letting some loose wires hang out, and then leave it lying around in a public place and then let bomb disposal take care of the rest. You'll be doing your mental health a favour in the long term.

Or, we list its faults and resist smacking it repeatedly with a hammer while we do:
  • Occasional BSODs
  • GPU coil whine (one of its many foibles not systematic of instability)
  • Ambiguous Driver/BIOS conflicts (we need another update from one of them)
  • PSU has joined in the fun - odd buzzing sound, possibly coil whine, signal interference or other
  • It's developed sadistic AI - and is mocking us.
  • Add ones i may have forgotten
Is your mouse hardlined into the system (not wireless) and is it only in Programs/taskbar that it does it? Are you sure it doesn't do it within Chrome or games and you just can't hear it. Also, are you 100% sure it's the PSU and not the GPU - you can use a cardboard tube to help isolate the noise if unsure.

Additional, what have you tried since you last posted:
  • Any memtest results?
  • Did you run at 2993MHz and experience stability issues still
  • Something else i forgot?

Does it in chrome and taskbar. Memtest was all passed okay, running at 2993 all okay so far haven't gamed with it as work nights all week. Definitely sounds like coming from psu and not gpu. Sounds static.

Only noticed this after updating to the latest bios, maybe should roll back to previous one to see if it still does it maybe.
