Screeching graphics card

Looney11 · 02-02-07, 04:54 AM

Maybe it has already been said before, I couldn't find it in the other threads. I haven't experienced it myself but if you could try the following:

Since the gfx card is responsible for the "refresh-rate" of the screen. It will draw the screen again and again with usually 60Hz or more. Now, with the most newer screens being TFT/LCD this refreh rate isn't needed as the TFT/LCD displays use a different refresh-system.

One might try to increase/decrease the refresh-rate of the card to see if it helps.

I hope it does, other than that, squeeling is usually produced by a coil or Opamp which is resonating due to some kind of feedback or frequency.
