monitor making weird noise!

samzen06 · 07-09-2007, 01:44 PM

hi there

I have a Sony Multiscan G420 flat screen monitor, plugged into a vga port with a converter. I have ati sapphire x1950 pro card installed which the montior is hooked up to. Only recently the monitor has started to make a weird noise(piercing sound), I asked a friend he said it could stop working one day but nothing much will happen. I was wondering has anybody else had the same problem or similiar. I can't work out why it is happening, but it is annoying. I have tried turnig it off/on again and makes no difference.
hope to get a reply soon

hi

I checked the power cord, and it makes no difference, but I have left my machine on for a while and it seems to have stopped, which has made me more puzzled whether it was just a onetime occurence or wehther it will come back, but thanks for you help

What refresh rate are you running?

samzen06 · 07-10-2007, 03:48 AM

it seems it isn't a one time occurence cus it did come back later on, yesterday evening. the refresh rate is 60hertz.

Does the picture change when it makes the noise?

when it makes the noise, nothing noticeably happens apart from the sound, also I can't work out where the sound is coming from.
