A couple of weeks ago my computer started to make a high pitch whining noise. Its not a high pitch whirling/blender noise I see on peoples YouTube videos about coil whine. It sounds like a car with really bad brakes, or really bad feedback from a mic and speakers.
Curious as to what it could be I Googled my issue and read on forums posted here that it's coil whine from either one of two things, my power supply going bad or my graphics card going bad. I bought my Computer case with a built in 480W PSU and decided it would be best to upgrade it with a trusted brand, so I bought a Rosewill Capstone 750W. I also decided to upgrade my graphics card while I'm at it and went from an EVGA GTX 650 to an EVGA GTX 760.
Once I had everything swapped out and running the noise still persisted but less frequently. It only happens for a split second or 3 seconds at longest and then dies down. Before the swap when I played graphically demanding games my entire computer would freeze in game repeating the game audio like a skipping record while the high pitched noise blared until it stopped freezing. It hasn't done this since I replaced my GPU and PSU, but the noise still happens from time to time.
The last thing I can think it would be is from my CPU fan, other than that I'm out of ideas.
