Squeeking memory chip ?!?!?

Best not take any chances and wrap up your balls in tin foil until you know for sure.

It's noise. Various components - capacitors in the computer may make noise. It's harmfull if it annoys you, and causes you to go out and kill people, but otherwise safe. It could also be interference through the soundcard.

Don't know but when I scroll on my desktop I can hear faint changes in the power supply noise, probably due to variations in current on the 5V line.

I am afraid the usual spritz from the silicone lube can won't do it in this case :-)

The centurion style looks nice:

By the way.. talking of interference... my soundblaster volume sometimes goes up by itself... the infrared thing that came with it is probably picking up signals from who knows what... neighbours or gsm's/mobile phones etc... I could even hear the gsm noise on my speakers sometimes... also sometimes the old speakers went nuts and made boom boom boom sounds... probably just static eletricity going into it... or maybe not... who knows... maybe it was a galatic boom/background radiation lol... that would be cool =D

I used to work at one of the big computer manufacturers. I never heard memory sticks make squeeking noise, but there was one occasion where we had a motherboard and one video card make squeeking noises. In both cases it was an inductor in the power supply circuitry that was singing when the power supply was under heavy load (power supply circuitry on the PCBs, not the computers ATX power supply). We had the manufacturer switch to different suppliers on the inductors and the problem went away.

I just made a new website/homepage for my hobby projects :D

It includes 3 pictures of my Dream PC (2006) and it also contains a link to the sound file with the squeeking.

Bye, Skybuck.

Squeaking noises usually come from rodents under duress. Closest thing to a rodent in a computer system is a mouse. Or, perhaps ferrite in a switching power supply which your computer has many.

It's probably waaaayyyy too late for that :)

You need a better chair

Your HDTV sucks

Get a couple of pics on the wall

Nope

It's and LCD ;) Don't know if that makes a difference.

It's kinda nice but it has drawbacks as well ;)

Neh.

Any other ideas lol ?

Bye, Skybuck ;)

Couldn't he just go out and kill *himself* ? Please ?

Often the squeaking is coming from the serpentine belt tensioner, sometimes from power steering. You did buy power steering as an option, correct?

Tim.

Sometimes its just the loose nut behind the wheel making all the noise.

Mine does that sometimes after the belt was replaced. Must get it adjusted.

I had an EPROM scream once, and glow, when I put it in backwards. Does that count?
