Monitors are NOT supposed to do that - and that tech person is full of shit. Actually it is fairly well-known that CRT's tend to buzz; this is caused by the electron gun 'rastering' the image on the screen. LCD's/TFT's don't have this problem (but other things in a TFT can buzz, like the inverter f...

My HP P1230 22" model P9613W CRT Monitor has a buzz! I JUST bought it, and I couldn't believe my own ears when I first heard the nasty buzz sound. I had replaced my old 19" CRT monitor with this beast, and when I heard the buzz I was sure that my monitor was faulty. So I called HP and they said "We...

Excellent... one more question before I get started. Can that blu-tac stuff hurt the coils by not releasing heat?

I just sorted out a very similar problem on my Gigabyte motherboard.

I reduced t...

Oh Dear God do I need your help! I've been posting about this problem on many forums, and finally I'm in the company of people with the EXACT same problem as myself! I just registered here for this very topic. I have the Asus A8R-MVP, and since I got it I've had what I'm guessing is "coil whine" - s...
