Hi folks. My motherboard took a crap and died on Saturday, so I went to visit my local MicroCenter and part out a new motherboard, and while I was at it, a new CPU. The whole setup is as follows:
Anyhoo, I get it all hooked up and it's running fine, but there's a buzzing noise. I thought it was coming out of one of my two hard drives, but I put my ear next to it, and the buzzing was coming from somewhere else. It is not coming out of the speakers, as I have my own separate sound card.
The buzzing happens constantly when I'm idling in Windows, and stops for a split-second when the screen is refreshed (scrolling down a web site, download rates changing, clicking on an icon/link). It does not buzz when I'm idling in the BIOS, or when the computer is booting to Windows. The problem was consistent when I was using BIOS 1, and is still happening with 4a.
I tried updating the drivers from the Gigabyte website to no avail. I've also tried determining where the sound is coming from, and it's on the motherboard for sure. No adverse effects from the buzzing, it's just irritating. I can easily keep music on at a volume that would drown out the buzzing (it's not too loud), but I'd rather fix the problem.
Thanks for looking guys. I can provide more information if you need it.
