Fidchell Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm not sure exactly at what point this started happening, but I know that it started around the time I finished upgrading to Windows 10. My Corsair CX750M started making a strange beeping sound. I recorded it for you guys to hear. http://rpgmaker.net/users/Fidchell/locker/psubeeping.wav I've already swapped the PSU with another model and it still happens. Restarted computer. Swapped graphics cards and the beeping was a LITTLE quieter, but still audible. Disconnected sound card and HDD. Still happening. I can't see a reason that my SSD or CPU would cause this, but I don't really know what else to do at the moment. If anyone encountered an issue like this, could they give me a hand and tell me what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidchell Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I suppose it was quite obvious what I had to do next. I reverted back to Windows 7 and the beeping appears to be gone. I have no idea what in Windows 10 could be causing this, but I have to look into it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fidchell Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Well, it's back. It's faint, but still audible from where I sit. Does anybody recognize this sound and what it could mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletusowns Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Well, it's back. It's faint, but still audible from where I sit. Does anybody recognize this sound and what it could mean? Pretty interesting. I was ready to tell you coil whine but since it isn't constant I have to admit that I have heard this only twice in my life. 1) faint beep from a hardware sensor. The beep for me was that a fan was dropping below a certain RPM/or CPU was getting too hot. It could also be the HDD dying as some older drives did make a beep when they had trouble 2) Relevant since you only changed software. I actually had a software error on startup services. I'd try rebooting into safe mode and playing around in there a bit to see if the noise resumes. If it does I would say hardware issue.. if it goes away it is a software issue in which case I would do a full wipe and reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
