   my DX10 app cauese a beeping noise to come from my computer
  my DX10 app cauese a beeping noise to come from my computer, it has a high pitch and it sound like a metal needle hitting a spinning surface.I also noticed it when playing stalker, but the pitch is much lower than. i'm not 100% sure if my pc is still in warranty (altough i think it isnt), so i havent opened it up to see where exactly this sound is coming from. altough i have a hunch that the graphics card is the noise makerany suggestion?   
  only think i can think of is the DX10 apps being the most intensive on the gfx card & requiring more cooling & the fan hitting something , if it's under warranty i understand not opening it but i can't see what you can do in that case beside bringing it back (test it with heavy graphics dx9 apps , prolly'd do that too) else i'd open it up because while it might be the fan being missplaced or something it might also be something stupidly easy to fix (maybe a bit of a wire from somewhere else in the case being too close & hitting the fan?)   ;  If you have your PC long enough to doubt it's still under warranty i think it's the dust caught up in the fans so you might want to open it and clean it up.   ;  Whats your power supply brand and rating? Along with the rest of the hardware you're running? Most video cards these days beep if they don't get enough power. Your app could be drawing more power than your power supply can deliver.   ;Quote:Original post by Jarrod1937Whats your power supply brand and rating? Along with the rest of the hardware you're running? Most video cards these days beep if they don't get enough power. Your app could be drawing more power than your power supply can deliver.My experience is that when any part of the PC draws too much power on cheap PSU-s they aether shut down immediately or start to get really hot so you can usually smell the melting/burning plastic [when I had 3 HDD's in one PC it shut down when I tried to run them all at once until I switched the PSU, and in this PC I had a cheap LC 450W and a 2900XT and lets say it wasn't a pretty smell [grin] ]. If it's a PC speaker beep than it's 90% because of the dust clogging the fans/coolers, this is NO.1. hardware problem I get to solve on a monthly basis just because people assume I know how to fix their computer, since I know how to code [grin]. You can check (without opening your PC) by going to BIOS and removing the temperature "warning" beeps for CPU/system.If it's not the PC speaker sound sound maybe something is caught up in the CPU/GPU fan anyway or it got loose and it only sounds up when the fan speeds up. But as already said you gave too little information.   ;  nah its not the power supply if you ask me, ill check my warranty list to see if i can open the thing up.well now that i have limit the frame rate in my app the beeping sound is gone :S   ;Sounds like thisRegards,ViLiO
