Right, when the monitor (rather old 16" Sharp LCD monitor) is showing the colour white (such as a Google search results page, GMail inbox etc.) I can hear a rather audible high pitched buzzing sound, no matter what brightness the screen is on. Any ideas as to why? I'm sure there is a scientific/electronic reason as to why, it's just I'm not sure what that reason is

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I put my computer to sleep, it stops, and it starts as soon as I turn my computer on. Changes frequency right before the login screen comes on, and then it stays the same after that. My PC also takes a while to start up now. I have to shut it off and back on maybe 2-3 times before it'll boot up. Just a few minutes ago, Windows sent me to this uh... resume(?) screen that I've NEVER seen before.
edit: it also changes frequency during windows' admin program run notification
So a few weeks ago I was in Sony Vegas editing a video and suddenly my mouse and keyboard both became unresponsive and a loud buzzing noise started coming out of my speakers. I left it for a few minutes but nothing happened, there was no blue screen of death, no error message,nothing. so the only thing I could do was force a restart.
Over the next few days the problem continued in graphical/CPU intensive programs (such as photoshop, Vegas, fsx, etc), and all I could do was restart. Not once did I see an error message. I did originally think that it was due to an overclocking (4.4 GHz) however I checked my temperatures and they didn't ever peak above 60-70.Neverthelss, I underclocked back to 3.3 but still experienced the problem. I read online that I should do a clean install of windows so I did that, and up until now I thought the problem was solved. And a couple of minutes ago I was playing age of empires and the computer froze and then The buzzing started again.

I know this doesn't really give much away to my problem but i'm just as confused.
My laptop has recently started making the little beep noise that would occur when inserting a usb device etc. but i haven't inserted anything into the laptop at all?
I have checked various windows device programs but to no avail, there are no yellow triangles in the device manager, so i'm unsure as to what has caused this?
I have also system restored but it still proceeds to make the noise.
I'm having this strange noise every time I'm 10 minutes into a game (Stalker COP) and I noticed that when I'm using a VGA analogue cable my display starts to tremble, the noise won't stop until I turn off my pc for 15-20 minutes.It is constant it varies when a game hangs or if I change my screen resolution, I'm sure it's not my monitor, fans, HDDs, ODD, graphics cards (restarted my pc without them and the noise is still there), I stressed my CPU with prime95 and all went good.As far as I can tell there's no strange smells, I checked most of my MOBO caps, nothing bad.Tried a BIOS update, Forceware update...no luck.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a computer with external active speakers connected to the 3.5mm phone plug. I'm using win 7 32-bit and when I start my computer the speaker starts to make strange sounds, almost sounds like an old modem. I have disabled the start-up sound since I don't want that, the noise is there until I do anything with the sound driver, or so it seams. If I for example I play a sound or even mute/enable the cd volume the sound stops and don't come back until the next time the computer is started. I have had the computer on for a long time without doing anything and the sound don't stop until I do something with any sound or sound setting.
Additional things I have tried so far to fix the problem but not succeeded:
1. I have been into BIOS and the sound does not start in BIOS, it is when windows is starting the sound starts.
2. Re-installed driver
3. Tried to set the register DrvAzComIdlePowerState and a few more to 00 00 00 00.
my 2 year-old toshiba satellite l675d-s7016 has been making a loud screeching noise for the past week. it only happens when i'm watching videos (hulu, Internet, etc.) it slows the video down, distorts it, and then my computer has blue screen and shuts down. i think that it started when i downloaded a screen-sharing program called join me. i never used the program, but i can't even find it in my "programs." i'm using windows 7?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi bought my computer in january of this year, a Toshiba Satellite L745 SP4146CL Like two months ago it started freezing suddenly while playing any game and making this weird noise, and i have tried like waiting if it finally does something, but i always have to turn it off. This week it did some of those noises but now, when it freezes and the noise, after the shut down it wont turn on again like for.... 10 minutes... and so on... before it crashed like once in a week or less... now its crashing like every 3 or 4 hours even if i am not playing...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a really strange problem with my new desktop PC. Right when Win7 starts and the desktop appears, the PC case starts emitting a noise with a really high pitch. I tried almost everything to find out which component emits this noise (it's not the fans, nor the CPU, nor the video card, nor the hard drives). After hours no end of trying everything I could think of, I found out that the only way to stop the noise is to disable an item called "USB Input Device" from the Device Manager of Win7. I have several items called that way, but only one is causing the noise. When I do disable the device, the mouse stops working and the noise is gone entirely.
But as soon as I enable the device, or plug another USB mouse on the PC, the noise comes back. But here's the interesting thing: I found out that if I start Win7 in safe-mode, even with all services and network on, it doesn't emit the noise, and the mouse works perfectly anyeays. I even see that same device enabled in the Device Manager, but it doesn't make a sound. I cannot use Win7 in safe-mode all the time, but I also cannot use the PC without a mouse. I'm thinking on buying a PS2 mouse instead of a USB mouse and try that, but I really like both my wireless Logitechs.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI've built myself a PC and run into some problems with the display resolution.
OS: Win 7 x64
Graphics Card: XFX/ATI Radeon HD 4550 512MB PCI-E 2.0 VGA/HDMI/Dual-Link DV
Monitor: Hanns G HZ194
Display Adapter: ATI Radeon HD 4550
Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor
Current Resolution (I guess) is 1024x768 although the settings show that I have selected the recommended 1366x768. Everything is moderately big and chunky - not safe mode though. Is that the Generic Monitor is causing the problem. How I can get a sensible resolution. It's causing me some big problems as some of my applications don't fit on the screen properly and don't have effective resize/scroll bars.
I LIKE XP BETTER.

View 1 Replies View Relatedi have just finished a remote assist with Microsoft to try to resolve a problem i am having with my win 7 os. It appears from my trolling the forums that it is not an uncommon scenario. As i use my machine i see the memory monitor gadget showing more and more usaage of ram until finally i get a "not enough resources to run application" prompt.
The guy from microsoft cleared my cookies, my prefetch files, google toolbar etc without effect. He suggested that some of my optimising utilities could be the problem until i explained that i had installed the to try to CURE the problem. He finally cleared off without saying anymore and i was left a link if i wanted to resume the chat support. This link didn't work. Any comments would be great.
I have a home built Rig. Running Windows 7 RC 7100. Very happy with it. I just had a DVI/HDMI adapter, 15ft HDMI 1.3 cable and a 20ft coax cable delivered. MONOprice.com for the win on those(less than $20 delivered in less than a week)
Anywayz, I set up the cables and all to my Toshiba 37" LCD 37HL67 and the coax to my reciever. audio is working. And even the dual monitor set-up thru Windows 7 works great. However, I am having a "desktop fitting the FULL screen" problem.
It is showing black barz top, bottom, left, and right. Not fitting the complete screen. My TV res is 1366x768. which i have win 7 set to. it seems to be the fullest on the entire screen. But not completely. It does not matter if i make it the main mont or not. Wont change. My GPU is a ASUS 4830 from Newegg(another winner ).
I do have the latest drivers and even tried to play with the CCC and started seeing problems becasue i was doing a trial and error sesh and i stopped quickly. I am not PC inept but I am not the most savy creature either. This one is beyond me at this point.
I open a program and it opens on the monitor. I think restore the size, rather than having in maximum size.
The program disappears, but is still in the task bar. I click on the program icon in the task bar to make it appear in the monitor, but the program shows to open on a non-existent monitor on the left of my monitor.
I have checked Display adapters in Device Manager and they are working ok. I have checked Control PanelDisplayChange Display Settings and all looks ok.
Everything has worked find until recently. No real changes, however I suspect Microsoft Windows 7 is doing some dirty tricks after I have made multiple complaints about their poor customer support on the phones.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed windows 7 ultimate sp1 - Like the title says I'm seeing 35% cpu usage with nothing going on. I googled around and ran traces to see which driver it was, turned out the ahci driver was doing it. The USB driver showed similarly high latency but that can be delt with later. Most forums recommend upgrading your drivers but this problem has stayed constant both with microsoft's stock drivers for everything and after running windows built in search for drivers even after I manually grabbed the latest drivers for everything. url...BIOS is up to date4 GB RAM - Corsair something or otherEVGA Geforce 8800 GT450W psu1 DVD burner (sata)5 hard drives (sata) plugged into all but the first sata port because that caused nothing but headaches for me.
