Running out of ideas, but have some more. Hopefully someone else will chime in too. I know I mentioned the overheating possibility, but probably just about all CPUs made in the last decade will simply power down the entire system if it was getting to hot. This is to prevent damage from occuring. Actually had a laptop do this a week ago that I was working on, so I wouldn't go running out to buy thermal compound just yet. However, it sounds like your system is staying on, just no display. You mentioned your cpu is constantly changing speed on power up. Do you mean it's ramping up then ramping down over and over, or just going from a high speed then settling on a lower speed? How long have you left the system on waiting for the display to come up? Since you connected to your TV, i'm guessing you used an hdmi connection. Any luck with VGA or DVI?? Also i see you took the battery out, did you also just moving the CMOS jumper as well(the red jumper on the bottom right side of the motherboard if your looking at it mounted in the case). By default it's on pin 1-2, with system powered down, move to pin 2-3 for a bit, then return back to 1-2. You could try different ram if available, but it's sounding more and more like something got damaged somehow over that past 2 weeks. The squeeling noise could be coming from inductor coils, which are on the motherboard itself, inside power supplies, and on the video card. Is the sound there if only using onboard video vs using the card? Since it makes it with both PSUs, it probably not that, if it does it with onboard video, it's most likely the motherboard. Either way, the sound itself doesn't mean something won't work probably, just not sound the best(I believe it's actually vibrations in the parts themselves from electric current going through them), but this may actually be a different sound than your actually referring to. Kinda getting off the big picture though, is that it worked for two weeks before all this happened. Do you know what was wrong with the first motherboard before you replaced it? It seems like something slowly got damaged over the last two weeks. A long shot here, but maybe the old PSU is what killed the old motherboard, and ended up damaging the replacement motherboard that you put in two weeks ago. What brand/model power supply is the old one?? If it had something wrong with it and sending an out of spec voltage to the motherboard, it could have damaged it that way.
