Yes... That is it. I listened to a YouTube video with an example. My sound is almost exactly the same, but more tuned and seems to be playing specific notes, but that is most probably either coincidence or just a trick played by my ears as it is so close to hearing threshold. There is a bank of...

Update: The LEDs I am referring to are integrated into the motherboard and remain on when the PC is powered down as long as the power remains connected. If the sound is from another component then it would ba a motherboard component somewhere very close by as I have discounted removable components.

This is a relatively new build, only a few months old for the motherboard and CPU, but other components are from my old build. Yesterday I noticed an extremely high pitched sound coming from the tower. 5 tones in descending pitch just at the limit of my hearing (My wife can't hear it at all)...

Specs seem good enough. Personally not a fan of AMD after a bad experience, but maybe you will do better with it. My own personal suggestion is to make sure it can be upgraded later. This is a good build for 2021, but in 2 or 3 years you might want to boost it. Make sure you can put more RAM...

Could you please post the specs of your PC/Laptop? It currently sounds like your GPU (graphics card) is stuggling and may either be too low in power, or possibly too old or maybe failing. Without more info it would be very difficult to guess correctly. I suggest posting: The CPU model RAM...

If hitting it seems to help, then it seems quite likely that a component is loose. Loose RAM chips could certainly lead to a booting cycle. Does the motherboard have a speaker attached? A speaker should be sounding out a beep code, this code can then be checked on the motherboard troubleshooting...

Ok, sorry it took so long. I tried that and no luck. Now the drive no longer shows up in BIOS. It powers up fine but is now entirely invisible on the PC, yet my work laptop continues to run it fine. (additional information for the laptop, it is not connected to the internet and runs an older...

Thank you for the reply. In BIOS I found that CSM was already on, so I turned off secure boot. Sadly, no luck Additional: Yesterday, I tried something different. I set up a virtual machine with Linux OS in the hope that another OS would pick it up but it couldn't. I suspect that because the...

Windows 10 version 1903 (OS build 18362.778) I recently discovered a load of old Blu-Ray disks I'd forgotten about from my previous computer and dug out the external Blu-Ray player to copy all the info to my hard drives. The Blu-Ray won't show up un my PC either in My Computer, or in the device...

Sorry for the late reply. As I said before, your new PC has no drivers. You need to turn it on and install Windows (or whatever operating system you are using) and install the drivers without the graphics card plugged in. This is why it works fine in the other PC as basic drivers are already...

Without the graphics card plugged in, sorry I should have said that part. Take out your graphics card for the first boot. once your operating system is installed, you will have some basic drivers. Windows is pretty good for that.

Plug your monitor directly into the mother board socket. The drivers are not yet installed for the GPU, so it cannot show a picture. This is perfectly normal. Once the drivers are installed for your graphics card you can plug the monitor back into it.

If the CPU is loose in it's housing, then even a simple bump can knock it out, moving the PC can cause it to come unseated. It is possible to install the fan incorrectly, most motherboards have multiple power sockets for system fans, it the CPU fan is plugged into the wrong socket, many...

I have solved it, installing "The Witcher" also seems to have given me the missing .dll file. I still don't know what file was missing, but all happy and working now, thank you for your help. btw tenforums were completely useless for this problem, the memory dump told them nothing, but thanks...

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-950/specifications According to the GeForce website GTX 950 will run up to 4 monitors with a combined display resolution of 5120x3200. Yes you can run 3 monitors with a little tiny bit of resolution to spare, but not much.
