high pitched noise after computer runs for 20 mins.
My Asus TX7 based computer has just started emitting a high pitched noise.
If I reboot the noise goes away just before the screen blacks out(that's after Win2000 has closed down I assume) and the computer will run quietly for 10-20 minutes before the noise starts up again. The noise seems to come from the vicinity of the computer speaker but turning down the vol control doesn't make any difference. Also I have external speakers hooked up and the nose is not coming through them. Does anyone have any ideas about this? John |

Well, I'd first check the bearings on any of the fans in the case or the ps.
If you think it's coming from the computer speaker, disconnect the lead from the mobo and try again. My bets are the fan bearings HTH, vgb "jbclem" wrote in message rthlink.net...

Hi John,
I don't think it's either as the noise stops when I pull the speak connection off the motherboard. Also, at the same time the noise is going on there is a light flashing on the front of the computer. It's not the hard drive light but a light with a lightbulb icon next to it. Any idea what that means? Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. John "John Smith" wrote in message ...

Sorry, I don't know enough about your board to help you out more. Try some
of the overclocking NGs as they have links to Asus forums where you might find people with your board. J. "jbclem" wrote in message rthlink.net...

The PDF manual I have here, mentions three LEDs - Power LED, IDE (HDD) activity LED, and Message LED. This post in Google suggests the motherboard has detected the CPU is overtemperature. This gives a high pitched tone and flashes the power LED. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...1%40news2-hme0 Paul "John Smith" wrote in message ...

I'm not savvy enough to speculate on how or if it might be picking up spurious noise but it might be worth a shot. Do you have any USB devices? Sometimes a USB mouse will cause strange noises to come through the speakers. |

John Do you still get this noise if you turn the monitor off with the PC still running? I've heard of monitors doing this, I think it's to do with it's power supply going flaky (could be wrong there tho). SteveH |

My bets are the fan bearings Bad bet Sounds like you CPU is over heating/ All the Asus boards I've own have a overheating warning . The reason it runs for 10 to 20 minutes is because it takes that long to heat up enough to set off the alarm. HTH, vgb "jbclem" wrote in message arthlink.net...
