Noises?

[BuLLeT]

got some weird noise coming from the computer... Like when i go over links or tabs, there is a 'click' noise, like from an ipod. then when i minimize and maximize a window theres a beep. This is all coming from the computer not the headphones/speakers. any ideas? HD maybe?

after a lil more close listening, i opened up the comp and listened and found the noise is either coming from the graphics card or the network card...

also the noises just started happening after i bought a new ac adapter for my monitor. Once i got it and turned the comp on for the first time is when i noticed the noises.

video card fan might be going on your cpu..

I took out the network card then put it back in and now the noise is no more...

wierd lol, tho i guess if reseating the nic card made it go away then its probably nothing to really worry about.. it might have just worked itself out of the slot a tiny bit and caused some random problems lol

the other day i thought i saw sparks inside my case.. nearly freaked out.. but all it ended up being was some clumps of dust caught in my southbridge fan (which is right underneath my 8800, so not totally easy to see completely) and the combination of that blowing around randomly and the different lights inside the case (mainly the red one on the MCP cooler) made it look quite scary from a distance lol and i thought my video card was shorting out.. which made me for a second think my northbridge heatsink (which has pretty shitty mounting) fell onto the back of my video card.. as its probably not good to have the metal heatsink touching the traces and pins on the back of the gpu pcb :-\
