a7n8x dlx and sound (noise) problems
Put in new Asus GeForce 5600 and quickly noticed a problem with noise from
the video board. Seems to happen after about 20 - 30 minutes. You can hear ringing noises, when mouse moves, soft clicking noises. The noise is very noticable when the system is idle and appears to go away when there is video activity. While dragging a window does not stop the noise, if I grab a corner and stretch the window back and forth, the noise stops while the window is resizing. I can reboot and it is good for 20 - 30 minutes then suddenly the noise appears. I tried agp spread spectrum enable/disable, tried changing the agp apature 128-256, refresh: 60,70,80 hz, resolution: 800x600 ... 1280x1024, large fonts, etc. Nothing works more than about 30 minuts. A reboot will work, but is good for 30 minuts or so. CPU is athlon 1400 mhz ("1700" model) at temp: 114f with several fans. should be o.k.?? Sound is not consistenly on and once it shows up it is impossible to do anything to get rid of the noise. Occasionally, not predicable, the noise does not resume when we quit a program, but it does pick up 20-30 minutes later. Before the 5600 was installed we had an older ti200 and my son could hear the same type of noise, but extremely faint, not anything to complain about, but it was there. I could not hear it. but I can clearly hear the ringing noise and mouse "clickings". Got any suggestions? We currently are using the latest nvidia driver, the same one we installed for the ti200. |

"edde" wrote in message ... Might be a power supply fan. What type of psu do you have? Some, like my enermax, have auto speed control, so the fan speed changes when temps change. Also, it may even be the cpu fan. Just tried all the above, didnt work....BUT WE DID FIX THE PROBLEM! (or at least the symptom).... Removed the cable going from the cdrom to the AUX audio in. Discovered this by selecting MUTE for each input and when we got the the AUX input, muting it fixed the problem. We disconnected the AUX audio connector at the cdrom and it still had the morse code sound. But when we pulled that cable off of that AUX "white" input on the motherboard, the morse code sound went away. In addtion, the extremely faint "mouse clicking" noise also disappeared. I will try a shielded cable if I can find one. We eventually want to put a tv adapter in and I suspect the AUX input will have to be used at that time. For now, we don't need the AUX input as that white CD-IN works just fine. It connects to a DVD-CDR combo which is used for playing music anyway. "Beemer Biker" wrote in message igy.com...
