Been a while, but just thought I would update, if anyone else has this problem (also because I said I would tell you about my progress haha). It was my graphics card, so I downloaded Rivatuner. With this program comes another called D3DOverrider, which you need to keep minimized while playing the game that causes the issue. force vsync and triple buffering need to be on. This works, thank God haha Thankyou again for your suggestions though
-
Ok sweet, I'm going to wait for my brother to come home for that, i don't trust myself haha but thanks for your help i appreciate it. I'll update you on my progress later
-
well I think it was the graphics card he took out because I had a problem with my computer not turning on after we put the new things in (but that's a different matter) and the heatsinks were just rattling around in there, so may not have been from my graphics card at all, just found in there, probably fallen off because of fitting the cpu fan, not purposely pulled off though. do you think it's worth sticking back on the motherboard? I'll also try the fan to see what happens.
-
Yeah that is true.. although it's lovely and quite normally haha luckily i have some thermal paste left so i will try it, i did think it was worrying that these came off, because they must be needed otherwise they wouldn't be in there, thanks!
-
I think I just attached something haha I just find it strange that the noise starts when these get removed, surely it cant be my brand new cpu fan, otherwise that would be annoying hehe
-
oh right, wow could be a lot of things then! so the fact that i now have 4 heatsinks no longer on my graphics card, would this cause a squealing noise? I can imagine that all the power sims requires to start up could be causing my graphics card to get too hot and perhaps squeal?
-
Oh dear :/ haha ok thanks I will try that asap
-
I just remembered something Now I have no idea if this would really have anything to do with my problem. But when my brother was putting in these new parts for me he found 4 small metal squares loose on (what i think was) my graphics card, he said they were heat sinks or something. So he took them out, would this effect it?
-
thanks for the replies yeah it would probably help if i listened to wear it was coming from...hehe yeah i thought it could be something to do with graphics card, my brother's good with computers and I asked him about it, but he hasn't listened to my computer to see where it's coming from. i could listen myself and get a rough idea but like i said, i'm a noob. haha, to be honest a lot of things probably need updating, computer is over 4 years old. thanks again

Hey I put a new CPU fan and hard drive into my computer. So therefore had to re-install windows, of course i installed sims 3, but now when I load it up, my computer makes this squealing noise, its not THAT loud, but it's worrying. I thought it may be my graphics card, however it has never done this before, my graphics card isn't even that old (it's an nvidia geforce 9800 GT). I started to think maybe it was the processor or something? It only makes this noise when loading the title screens and stuff for sims 3, not when i'm actually playing it (playing a family). I'm a complete noob and know hardly anything about computers, so am in need of advice please!
