CPU Squeaking When Running Games

[joshmarvnat]

My cpu makes a squeaking sound everytime i'm on a game on my PC. Only when i play pc games.

Specs :
Windows 7
4GB RAM
GTX 220
Intel i3-3210

After squeaking, the game will freeze or either crash. Sometimes a blue screen will come out. Any solution on fixing this ?

Zero% chance it's actually your CPU.

Now you have to do a bit of manual work to figure out what it is.

Start by taking side pannel off. Then fire up some game in single player mode and start by barely touching fans to see if the noise disappears or changes. Two most likely fans would be the fan for the 220 and your 3210. Next up would be any case fans, then perhaps your hard drive. Almost all squeels will go away when the part that's making it has some pressure applied. Last thought if it's none of the above is listen carefully to the power supply to see if it might have a whine
