high frequency sound

[Mitternacht]

When I start my computer, and it warms up, it starts to make this high-frequency sound for about 5-10 minutes. My dad can't her it, but me and my mom can. It gives me some nasty migraines. It's not any of the fans in the PC, and it goes away usually in 2-3 minutes. It still hurts like hell though. I can hear it through the whole house.

Any possible explanations for this one guys?

somewhere inside the computer. It's not any of the fans, or the HDD. It's kinda stumping me.

Ghosts in your pc ? Hmm how about getting a can of compressed air and cleaning out your computer fans and such since it could be something stuck somewhere. Are you sure its not the HDD ? It could be your psu somehow also.

Overclocked?
or maybe a capacitor

The reason I know its not my HDD, I had another HDD in my pc just to install XP on that one faster. The sound came back with my HDD out and the other one in so the problem is elsewhere. And my PC is squeaky clean on the inside. I'll try another PSU

No, stock clock. And I hope its not a capacitor. I'll need a new motherboard then. This one was $130, and I dont have money now. Would be a good excuse to switch to the C2D lineup.

it might be your cpu alarm, how high is it set? mine is at 60*C and when i was burning a dvd with my new burner it started beeping randomly i turned on another fan and it went away.

Could it be possible that my computer's not properly grounded?

my alarm is for 60, but my CPU never hits 40.

if its that change the power cable and socket and that might eliminate that possibility. unless its within your psu.


is there a speaker in your system? try taking it out and see if its parts or the computer with some kind of error.
