this is the second time this has happened within a few weeks. all of my plugs were in too.

EVGA 780i, Sound Blaster Audigy SE, Windows XP This is the second time in a few weeks that this has happened; While surfing the internet and talking on AIM voice chat my speakers decided to output a very loud static-electric noise. The noise lasts about one second. I think that I had my feet on the ...

I have had an Intel Q6600 (B3 stepping) processor for about a year now. I have just recently changed motherboards from an EVGA 680i to an EVGA 780i, and I am currently using Windows XP. I have my processor overclocked to 2.9 ghz, using a voltage of 1.27. PC Wizard shows the idle CPU in the low 40's ...

Thanks for the suggestions. I actually found out that the PCI slot was bad on the motherboard. Board was exchanged for a new one that seems to be working (knock on wood).


I appreciate everyone's help!

I have confirmed that it is the CPU fan making the noise. I have it set at 100% but I can still hear the speed fluctuate...

Any suggestions?

It is a Creative Labs Audigy SE, and my computer freezes when I try to install the drivers..



Any suggestions?

Its alright, thanks for trying.


I think its time for a new board..

Nope, the problem persists. It seems like coming out of standby, turning off the computer, and turning it back on triggers this off.

I'll give that a try and post later. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thanks for replying.

Yes I have flashed to the latest BIOS and the problem still occurs. Think the motherboard is bad? I have had it for a year.

Recently, every few times I boot my computer a BIOS memory test is initiated. After the test, I am told that no PS/2 mouse is detected (I don't use a PS/2 mouse). After that message, I am finally told that no system disk has been detected. To temporarily solve this I set my BIOS to default. I have r...
