I just upgraded my computer with a new motherboard (Abit NF7-S), Corsair RAM, and a WD 80 gig HD (special edition).
Now, there is this constant very high pitched noise coming from the computer. It sounds like what I would imagine a dog whistle would sound like to a dog. Anyway, it isn't very loud, but because of the pitch it drives me crazy. I had to use earplugs to continue setting up the computer.
In trying to find the source of the noise, I stopped each fan individually to see if it went away. It didn't. That could be because the noise just left a ringing in my ears though.
After about 2 hours, the high pitched noise stopped, but then started again an hour later... then stopped again. I would appreciate any help in identifying what could make such a noise... maybe someone else has had a similar thing happen to them. I can't work on my computer how it is without going mad so I am determined to get it fixed soon.
Could a fan do that? Could it be the hard drive? Could it have been caused by using a can of air to clean everything out as I moved things to the new motherboard?
Thanks for any suggestions you might have... I am going on vacation for the weekend so I can reply to any questions for another hour or so, but then not until Tuesday.
