As you can tell from the title, I've got a problem with my computer I have been trying to fix for the past 2 days. It all began with reinstalling windows (which might be my problem; GOOOO MICROSOFT). After reaching the desktop, I installed the AMD Chipset Drivers for my Ryzen Processor and installed my GTX 1080 drivers. I rebooted and proceded to install a couple small programs such as Google Chrome and Steam. After steam finished, I downloaded the smallest game in my library, American Truck Simulator, and waited for it download. (In the meantime, lovely Windows Update did it's thing and installed security updates and stuff and requested that I did a reboot which I did after downloading the game). Once on the desktop, I started the game. Once the screen went black it all began. I heard this god awful noise coming from inside the case that sounded like mini screaming and scratching going on. It froze actually going through the intro screen where it does its animation (which I found odd). So I alt+f4'ed the game and went to the desktop. I took off the side of the case and listened closely to the computer to find where it was coming from. Sure enough, it sounds like it was definitely coming from my Graphics Card. I uninstalled the drivers and shut it down to switch graphics card's to test (used a GTX 960 I had), and reinstalled the graphics drivers. I tried starting the game and it was actually able to go through the loading screens and to the game; however, I was still hearing the same noise, just much quieter. So, does that mean both graphics cards are experiencing coil whine? Using the gtx 1080 it sounds like this ( https://youtu.be/4q5mK9s6dww?t=2m34s ); however, using the gtx 960 it sounds like this ( https://youtu.be/xKHZmr-aR6Y?t=3m21s ), which the guy in the video says is the cpu making noise. I don't have another cpu to test, but is it both the graphics cards, the cpu, or my motherboard (because I just got this motherboard maybe a couple weeks ago and it was a refurbished model). Or, is it my luck of reinstalling windows? Any body got anything?
