Well this has been happening for a while, but i thought it might be time for it to get check out, whening im scorlling on a page or in some games, like vice city, my video card will make a high pitch hissing sound, the temp is fine, i think its the ram. Anyone have the same problem?

Check the fan on it, that's what is probably making the noise.

 

[roninblade]

lol nope its not that, if u heard this sound u would know its not the fan

Like a high pitched whine? If so it's some kind of electronic problem. Unless you've got the knowledge and the equipment to troubleshoot the problem, the cards toast or will be soon.

I've been using one that does the same thing for like a year. It sounds like a static noise. I haven't noticed any problems and dropping the clock speeds doesn't change anything.

I've seen many people report this.

There appears to be no real cure, but it's not a problem other than in itself being annoying.

hehe check your powerlines, had the same problem

my computer room has shitty old wiring, put a Monster Clean Power Surge Bar on my computer and it all went away
