| | Annoying Loud Sound - Like a Cricket I have Windows Vista Ultimate on a new Alienware computer, Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz and noticed a very loud almost chirping sound, similar to a cricket whenever the computer power is placed in sleep mode. Does anyone know how to remedy? I read the other post about Mathematica but that's not installed. I also checked "sound" in Control Panel and found nothing unusual. Thanks. -- Best, PWR |

| | Re: Annoying Loud Sound - Like a Cricket This sounds like a hardware fault. Switched mode power supplies - like those in PCs - sometimes make that noise. Take the cover off the case and see if you can locate it. SteveT |
