Turn it off.

Without more info we would just be guessing...

Do you mean Beeping?

GX1_Man · « **Reply #3 on:** May 24, 2007, 04:14:37 AM »

OK, if we are just going to guess randomly, I would say heat sensor. Have you checked your fans?

Reset your BIOS to defaults.

Possible IRQ conflict:Change the sound card
to another slot.

jvb has obviously gone fishing.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #6 on:** May 25, 2007, 02:39:28 AM »

I went fishing once and the boat broke down. We were stranded for like 5 hours before we got someone to tow us to shore.
Perhaps that's what happened to him...

GX1_Man · « **Reply #7 on:** May 25, 2007, 03:14:43 AM »

Probably.

Ratza · « **Reply #8 on:** May 26, 2007, 07:53:55 PM »

A bad capacitor can emit a screeching sound, but not for long. You probably don't have any capacitors big enough to do that.

CPU fan, system speaker, power supply fan, other fans if present, should be checked.
Also, it could be the hard drive creating the screech; bearings, or head to platter contact. If it is the power supply fan, replace the power supply.

The CPU fan is the only item I can imagine screeching on the MoBo, unless you have an AGP card with its own cooling fans.

I would be interested to hear what you discover. I will bookmark this page.

I wouldn't bother bookmarking it, because most OPs usually don't come back to supply more information.

Perhaps the screeching was a baby pterodactyl and they lived happily ever after.

Or it ate his face.

Dark Blade · « **Reply #11 on:** May 26, 2007, 10:35:19 PM »

I wonder if it was the motherboard screeching...

BTW, why is this in Drivers?

Who cares

Perhaps the motherboard is alive and is being shocked by the electric current and is yelling in pain

Dark Blade · « **Reply #13 on:** May 26, 2007, 11:01:13 PM »

Well, the motherboard must be female then, because I haven't heard many males screeching

Well, should we close down this topic now, or wait a few days to see if the OP returns?

street1 (RIP) · « **Reply #14 on:** May 27, 2007, 05:17:50 AM »

If the OP don't return do we get caught forever

in the dreaded Giggle-Loop ?

I am still waiting on OP's to respond.

The oldest post is from late November2006.
Is there still hope?

Maybe we should have like a max waiting time of 2 weeks without OP response (but this only starts from when the first person posts). It's really annoying when people ask for help, but don't see it through. They think that they can just post their problem and WHAMO it's solved.

GX1_Man · « **Reply #18 on:** May 28, 2007, 06:52:41 AM »

And sometimes it can be, but the poster must realize that all of the pertinent info is required and they are part of the process.

Ratza · « **Reply #19 on:** May 28, 2007, 11:30:02 PM »

I have heard of a mother-in-law screeching, perhaps that accounts for the absence.

If OP's not returning is dissapointing try not to think of it too much...it's the nature of the beast.

Wow!Thank you patio.I was really getting stressed out.

You know all the anticipation and stuff.

SNAP!------->I'm okay now.

Glad to be of assistance....

You know all these jokes about being distressed that he (maybe she) not coming back and none of you have ever considered the idea that he (maybe she) might already have worked it out and just hasn't got the decent courtesy to come back and tell us?? (definitely a she).

Dark Blade · « **Reply #25 on:** June 05, 2007, 02:11:21 AM »

Maybe we should just all stop posting nonsense here because the OP isn't posting again.

Calum · « **Reply #26 on:** June 05, 2007, 04:21:44 AM »

This topic has been locked due to the reason above and lack of original poster response.
If the original poster, jvb, would like to reopen this topic if and when they return, please PM me or another moderator.
Thanks.
