Freddy,

Thank you for the response.

I realize that this is most likely nothing to do with Vista and more likely
to be hardware / driver related.

Is it possible for the graphics card to produce and "interfernce" sound. It
seems to be coming from the card directly and doensn't seem to be the fan.

Any suggestions as to what I can do next?
