Whenever I move the mouse wheel or click a button on the computer, the tower makes this high pitched noise. Sometimes it continues to make the high pitched noise even if I'm not doing anything. This is very annoying and I'd appreciate some help on how to fix it. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks
Try to scream back at him. :)
Is the sound comming from your pc speaker.
I've never heard of such thing.
It may be a virus or some problem with your mouse. Try using another mouse. Maybe the mouse is causing some error. Or try no using the mouse use your keyboard and see if the noise happens.Good luck

I know the sound is not coming from my speaker. Some of my friends have told me that the same thing has happened to their computer, but then it went away after a while. This is the third mouse I'm using - I tried to use logitech ones, but they did the same thing. Now I'm using a microsoft, but it still gives the same problems. I'm pretty sure I don't have a virus. The comp seems to make the high pitched noise when it is thinking. Whenever the graphics are moving on the screen it makes the noise too. I think its the video card. Any way, I'll fiddle around and see what happens. thanks

You probably have a Graphical Processing Unit on your video card, and it's the fan on that processor that is making the same high pitched noise that i got, mine used to only do it for several minutes after starting my pc from cold,until the brass in the fan gets warm enough to let go.... after several months it would do it off and on while my computer was turned on, anyway i solved the issue by closing down my computer, removing the case lid, unscrewing the video card, removing it ... then unscrewing the fan from the card, and cleaning off the dust, spinning it around, and loosening it with my fingers, before installing it back into my pc.... Well i would that there is a 99% chance that i am right .... after all i work in a computer shop which takes in hundreds of repairs, and i've seen it time and time again.

I wouldn't suggest climbing inside your case especially if you haven't already been in there, there are a few things like static electricity from yourself to the PC that could damaged the graphics card or motherboard. Best to get a techinician or someone that knows what they are doing to do this.

It isn't the graphics card. That noise is caused by a tiny creature called a "gyre" with a mosquito-like sucker apparatus it uses to poke through wires and traces so as to feed off the power supply. When gorged they emit a kind of wailing sound similar to a banshee. They're very small, smaller than mites. They reproduce through spontaneous generation and multiply exponentially. If you remove the case cover they'll get into bedcovers and infect your brain through your ear canals. That's when you start having "visions". I know, I had the same problem. Now I see gyres even when I sleep. You need a blacklight to see them for real.

Hummer... I have framed your response and I think that if you have access to any sort of medical journal you should publish your findings. This is a computer bug to beat all bugs!

Funny? I'm dead serious about those gyres. Just go out and get a blacklight and peek inside and you'll see, I assure you. The one I use is meant to find scorpions, but they'll work on gyres too. One good way to see gyres: Open up the power supply with the computer powered on and plugged in, then press your nose against a capacitor. That will tranfer all their food source to you and they'll start whining like crazy. And it's perfectly safe.

And for you, EarlyBird, you might be interested to know I am Gyre + certified. They'll don't just gymbol about the wabe, man, they call cause real harm. Mainly because so few know they got them and everyone wants to blame their problems on something called "hardware" or "software", whatever that means, or something even more fantastic called "Microsoft," which in truth is just gyres and more gyres with a holographic label stamped on their foreheads and a red-haired, four-eyed monopolist as their front man. Who himself is a gyre progeny. Just look at him under a blacklight.

Black Flag don't work. They mutate constantly and are immune to all such remedies. No, you must starve them out the way I suggested, by pressing your nose against a hot capacitor. That is the only way.

I just noticed that kershan also posted "My computer makes its own decisions!" Is there not a pattern here? First his computer screams at him, then it starts acting on its own volition and produces self-consciousness. This may be something even worse than a gyre. I must investigate kershan's computer. But I think they have already infected his brain.
Again, RAID don't work. If you're not man enough to press your nose against a hot capacitor, there's no shame in admitting it. I was afraid too, the first dozen or so times. Then I got to kind of liking it.

do you have one of those funny wort like things on the end of your nose from pressing your nose up against the capacitor?
0
Not exactly a wart, more like a boil. It scars overs after a while so the next time it doesn't hurt so much, but then again, the scar acts as a insulator so the transfer of voltage from capacitor to nose isn't so effective in starving out the gyres. That's why I'ved started using my tongue. It's a great conductor.

JC, that would be obscene. The point is not to enjoy the pain but to rid the computing world of gyres. Discharging a capacitor with your tongue is mearly a means to that end. That's a profound distinction everyone should appreciate.

I'm out to create gyre-awareness, not to create perverts.
Hummer must now go beddy-bye, gyres in his bedsheets and in his dreams. To all those who wish to attain my Gyre + certification, know that CompTIA no longer accepts my phonecalls and has repeatedly blocked my emails. They libel me with names "lunatic" and "deranged" and "a dangerous fanatic who advocates self-electrocution." But really I'm just a simple man who likes to hum once in a while. Self-electrocution is just part of the trade. Cheers.

I think you guys are off topic. Do you really think I should unscrew the fan off of the video card? - it seems like the only sane solution I've recieved from anyone. I'm broke, I can't afford a technition. It's a Geforce 4 MX 440 card, I hope I'm not supposed to mess around with it.

Screaming at you and then making its oun decisions. You aren't talking about your computer; you are describing your first-born.
Seriously, if you could open the case, it might help you in determining exactly what is making the noise. The noise I had was from the fan cooling the chipset. It was not field-replaceable, so the pc manufacturer had to pop for a new motherboard under warranty.
