Hello,
When I turn on my computer, about 3 to 5 seconds after it is turned on, and when it is going through the memory testing, the computer emits a constant squealing noise, which is coming from around the gpu/cpu/psu area (its hard to locate, but its definitely not from the hard drive). It doesnt sound like a mechanical noise, so I dont think its the fans. It usually stops after about 5-10 seconds and continues to boot, but some other times its doesnt stop and the computer becomes frozen while still testing the memory, and some other times there is no noise at all, and it boots fine. I have had this problem for about a month now.
The most recent hardware change i made was a new power supply and graphics card and totally new RAM about 6 months ago, and havent had any problems until now.
I am running windows xp home (32bit)
-nforce4m-a motherboard
-ati radeon HD 6700
-amd athlon 64 X2 dual core
-4Gigs of DDR2 ram
-PSU is around 650W (cant remember exactly, but I do know it is enough to power all components)
Please help me!
