Hey guys

Little bit of a strange issue here my pc appears to be squeling.

Its a lttle strange because it only happens at certian times for example
It makes the noise when the Windows 7 logo is flashing during startup.
It makes the noise when i load up the steam homepage from within the steam client.
Makes it during some games like Mafia 2 but only on the manufacturers videos at the start of the game.
Also sometimes when Windows asks me for admin permission to run or change things.

Possible causes:
Crucial C300 SSD
Corsair VX550watt psu
Nvidia geforce 8800gts coil whine


System spec:
Amd phenom II 965 C3 @ stock
Asus m3n/HD-HDMI
2GB Kingston DDR 2 800 Ram
XFX 8800gts 320MB
Maxtor Diamondmax 21 250GB
Crucial C300 64GB


Let me know what you think

Cheers Regards Ryan

I thought that at first but the steam page loading squeling seems to be a little strange.

I did hear that in some cases SDD's can cause PSU's to whine?

Cheers

Yeah i see what you mean I will need to try and pinpoint the noise it's quite hard to find I just pointed at the SSD because I've read that they can cause the psu to squeal.

Hey guys sorry for the late reply

I have checked Vsync in Nvidia control panel and turning it makes no difference.

However it seems to be when the SSD is being Accessed so i am pointing at the SSD but they can't make noise so maybe it's the PSU?

Let me know what you think

Hey

Thanks

I don't have a spare PSU i can test since my spare died :(

Even if it was wouldn't be worth sending it to Corsair.

I will deal with it until i upgrade my pus later in the year :)

Cheers for the help

Regards Ryan
 
Hey

Yeah i know what you mean

I was just a little worried but it's fine ;)

Noise doesn't bother me much because i wear cans on the pc so i don't hear it anyway.
