Re: GE72 2QF buzzing noise from CPU area when idle

Quote from: gilbert1019 on 14-July-15, 07:07:03You can disable "INTEL Speedstep" feature in BIOS and see if that would make the symptom disappear.
Sorry, I confused sides. It is actually coming from GPU area...

  • Mac Pro 2010 and Lion: buzzing noise from CPU board when idle

    Hi all,
    I have a 2010 Mac Pro with the 3.2 GHz quad core. I recently installed Lion and now whenever the CPU load falls below a certain threshold (approx. 10-20%) something on the CPU board starts to make a buzzing noise. It sounds like a capacitor or coil. Sometimes it is nearly impossible to hear but most of the time it is quite annoying.
    Removing the CPU board and putting it back in, solved it yesterday. But after waking up the system this morning, the buzz was back again.
    Also, this does not happen when running Snow Leopard or Windows in Bootcamp.
    Does anyone experience the same issue?
    Best,
    b.lam

    Then I would do a clean Lion install. Hopefully you saved the installer DMG.

  • MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ?

    MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ? What will be the problem? When I disabled it there is no sound. BUt when I enabled it there is a strange noise while moving my mouse cursor or when there is some CPU activity, sounds like a squeeking or scratching, a bit like hdd activity, but barely noticeable. It looks like it's coming from the area around the cpu socket, must be something on the motherboard. is there a solution other than just disabling it? I want to be able to make C1E enable but cant bare this noise so I have to turn it of....

    Sound like some electrical sound produced by current going through that area.
    Try contacting MSI support for more help.

  • G72-b57cl notebook mic noise from CPU fan

    g72-b57cl notebook mic noise from CPU fan
    At first I bought this laptop, mic setting was disabled. I enabled this, and then I can't talk through the mic because of noice from CPU fan. how can I solve this problem?

    See, I'm not entirely sure it's the fan.  I can just hear it more easily the closer I get to the fan, which leads me to believe it's somewhere around there.  As in, not the HDD on the other side of the computer, though I suppose it could feasibly be it.  I also think I could have described the noise a bit better.  It seems to sound like the CPU when it's under strain, but...not the same, I can't quite explain it.  The computer will heat up and spin the fan independently of this.  If it is the CPU or GPU, then I don't see what's generating this extra load separate from the nvidia-utils, which I already had earlier.

  • High CPU Usage when Idle

    Hello Crew!!!
    I have been using a ThinkPad Z60t, running the OS WinXP Pro that came bundled with the Thinkvantage Software. I have had no problems with my computer for the two years I have been using it. I use it as much if not more then a traditional desktop, covering all aspects of my life, from business to gaming (although it is not a gaming comp, it does me fine). Recently, within the last week or so, I noticed a huge lag-like spike every minute or less, including when the system is idle and isn't playing anything. I ran McAfee as well as AdAware and found no issues out of the ordinary. After reading a few forumn posts, on other websites, I ran a processes check, with Microsoft based software "Sysinternals" and found that over 50-80% of my processor was being used by Deffered Procedure Calls (DPC's) and Hardware interrupts. I chose to reinitialize my entire system, back to factory settings, wiped it all. Guess what it is still doing it!!!! 
    I have completely updated my OS, and other forumns suggest that there is a hardware issue, or intermittent signal with the CPU or Motherboard, what can I do to test this theory or to find solutions, please help me!!!!!

    It is not "normal" and cannot be "normal". Programmers like that must be fired immediately.
    It's like iTunes - scroll cover flow fast enough, and you can get memory usage up to 1GB (!!?) which is even not fully returned after you stop scrolling.
    And those people are making jokes about Windows? Yes, it is ugly but when they have blunders like this, at least they correct them. Just returned from the shop, wanted to buy 27" iMac. 3.06GHz model was running Parallels with Vista, processor usage continuously like 3-5%. iMac was cooking - if I put my face 0.5m from the screen, I could feel the heat!
    I don't know about iTunes... some of the recent Mac apps (Safari, iTunes) are so slow/inefficient I stay away from them. However, Logic's CPU use when idle is completely normal for a "real time" application that starts approx 20 threads minimum. All DAW application do this to some extent, some more than Logic.
    What's not normal is how much heat the new Macbook, MBP and iMacs are generating, the folks over on the Macbook forums are starting to see heat related failures.
    As a side note, Windows 7 is much more efficient than Windows XP_Professional, that's saying something as XP is a good real time DAW OS. After Vista I didn't expect much but Win_7 is a nice OS.

  • High cpu usage when idle / x230

    Hi all,
    I have an i5 x230, win8 pro installed on a crucial m4 msata ssd, 16gb of ram. I lately noticed a sharp drop in battery life. I believe this is due by high cpu utilization when idle, which I see from task manager, and shows the System process hovering above 30% cpu utilization. This goes down when I restart, but comes up again after a while, possibly when coming back from sleep.
    Does anyone have any idea about this? I tried to search the knowledge base a bit, but nothing came up.
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Indeed it was risdxc64.sys; I used process explorer to find out. I uninstalled the win 8 driver, and installed back the win 7 driver, and CPU usage is normalized.
    Thanks for pointing in the right direction!

  • HS-950 Buzz noise on CPU activity.

    Hey there,
    I just bought the HS-950 USB headphones, and I am trying to get them to work on my Windows 7 x64 system. I installed the beta Win7 drivers, yet I still get noise in the headphones on CPU / computer activity (opening directories, scrolling web pages). This sometimes stops, but comes back when I launch an application that uses the microphone (like Skype, Steam, or even the system sound preferences on the Input pane).
    Is there anythign that can be done about it?
    My system is clean, I have removed all previous drivers, and Device Manager shows that the headphones are running via driver version 1.0.0.640, from Creative, not the built-in Microsoft USB Audio drivers or the old .450 that came on the install CD.

    I have exactly the same problem on my HS-1000 USB headphone.
    Initially I had Vista 32bit, but I had bought Windows 7 for a different pc but decided I would install it on my current PC(64 bit installation).
    Yet the problem still persists.
    Also tried the headphones on a Windows XP system and same problem.
    Now I live in an old house that doesn't have "grounded" electricity so I tried them on a laptop and same problem persists. To be even more sure I went to a friends house that's grounded and same problem again!
    Why did I try this ground thingy, well my guitar amplifyer makes a buzz noise as well when I don't put a copper cable between it and my radiator ( e.g. ground it )
    Anyway, to SeregB, I would suggest you contact the store as soon as you possibly can and send it on RMA and try and get a replacement because it seems Creative doesn't know (or want to know) what the problem is.

  • Buzzing sound from cpu?

    Just recently received a refurb Rev. B MBA and I've noticed a high-pitched buzzing/scratching noise coming from the CPU under light load. It's similar to what I heard in my old MBP only louder and more annoying. I have the 128gb ssd so I know it's not coming from the hard drive. Anyone else have this issue? Is it something that can be fixed by taking it to Apple? I took my MBP in and they said the noise was within spec so I'm not sure how much hope to have for this either. Thanks for any help.

    The fan should be running at 2000RPM when idling. It does sound like the CPU causing the noise. Do other people hear it also? The reason I ask, is I repaired televisions for years and ran into people that had super sensitive hearing. They could hear a high frequency vibration that TV high voltage transformers give off. I used to use silicone seal on the transformer to stop the noise. I'm not so sure Apple will replace the logic board as long as the unit is playing.

  • P45-C51 - Noise from CPU Phase LEDs

    Hi,
    I've just finished setting up a new PC based on the MSI P45-C51 (MS7519) mainboard (see full specs for the system in my signature).
    Everything works fine, but.. The CPU Phase LEDs LED1, LED2, LED3 (the three blue LEDs in the upper right corner of the mainboard) emit some kind of very annoying high frequency noise as they flash (in sync with the hard drive activity LED on the front of the cabinet/tower).
    It's very important for me that I have a silent PC, so I've gone into great detail choosing the most low-noise components for this specific machine. Everything on this machine is very silent - except for the motherboard, which I would have expected would be the least of my problems when creating a low-noise PC!
    So my thoughts and questions are:
    - Is there any way I could turn off the flashing of CPU Phase LEDs (in BIOS, jumpers, software)?
    - Could it be a PSU issue (is 400W not enough for this setup)?
    - Or is it just a faulty mainboard (has other users experienced a similar noise from these LEDS)?
    I don't even see the reason for why the LEDs are there. The mainboard manual only has a very short and practically useless explanation of the LEDs. It only says what power modes they show (1 and 3 phase power mode) - not when and what to use them for..
    Hoping that someone can shed some light on this issue, and hopefully help me solve the problem..

    Now that I found out that the problem wasn't related to the LEDs on the MSI mainboard, I shifted my focus towards the CPU - The Intel Core 2 Duo E8400.
    From searching/reading about this specific processor on various pages found via a Google search, it sounds to me like a lot of other users have this issue to - it's called CPU whining - some kind of piezo vibrations caused by the extra power (that would normally be used by the CPU) which is being thrown back into capacitance when SpeedStep throttles down the CPU (no load). So it's not the CPU per-say, but the capacitors and voltage regulators that generates the noise (at least from what I am able to read). I guess it's not directly related to the MSI mainboard, and so maybe this post isn't even relevant in this forum any longer..
    When I write it's not directly related to the MSI mainboard, I mean that perhaps if I mounted this CPU in another mainboard, maybe the problem would go away - so I think it might be the combination of this specific motherboard and this CPU that creates this noise. A lot of other Intel Core 2 Users doesn't seem to have this problem, while others again complain about it. I guess it's also a very subjective question about how sensitive your ears are to high-frequency noises (probably in the 15.000-18.000 KHz range). Some write that they hear the sound, but don't care, while others hear it (and like me, are annoyed by it) from across the room through music, conversation and/or other background noises.
    Long story short, the users of the MSI HQ Forum (especially Jack t.N. - a lot og appreciation and thanks goes out to you, my friend  ) should not use more time and effort on this issue..
    Except if there's something that I might still have missed in the BIOS settings, that you think I need to try out first, or if this "newfound knowledge" raises any other questions or inspires a possible solution!
    I will leave the post open for a few days just in case.

  • New PB 15" emits static noise from keyboard area

    Immediately after purchasing a new 15" PB there is a low crackle/popping noise coming from the keyboard area when the machine is on. It is loud enough to be heard from 5-8' away when working in a relatively quite work environment.The sound is also muted so I know that isnt' it.
    Spent an hour on the phone with applecare and they have had my PB since Monday morning with the 'Hold - Engineering' note pasted on the support website.
    Has anyone had similar problems?

    I myself have a titanium and a G5 (and have tested other aluminum powerbooks) that exhibit this behavior when the following conditions are met:
    previewing movies or audio in the Finder
    firewire or pcmcia soundcard attached and being used
    some applications cause this to be louder. it is more noticable when the processor performance is set to "highest" in the energy saver control panel.
    since you have a newer 'book, and there is no processor performance drop-down, i am curious about this. i have found it to be more noticeable on the aluminum powerbooks actually. probably just because the G5 is sitting under my desk as oppossed to in front me.
    just look around the forums for the word "sizzle" and you will read more about it. From my understanding this is standard and the noise is caused by the processor napping. Most people who are annoyed by this have installed CHUD (from Apple developer tools) to turn off processor napping. This makes the noise go away but it also does not sleep the processor. This shorten battery life and the fans to go on sooner since the powerbook runs hotter with this off.

  • Buzzing Noise from (IMAC 27-INCH,MID 2010)

    I have noticed this buzzing noise (like crackling electricity of sorts) comign from the left side of the machine out of  the cooling vent.  I bought my IMAC in 2010 and have not had any problems with it until now.  I noticed the "noise" a couple of months back and it would show up here and there every once in a while, it was not annoying, so I let it be.  Until this last time, when the noise was loud and annoying, I could not just forget about it.  I am under warranty and called into Apple to see what can be done for this problem.  I was told to take it into my nearest Apple store to get it looked at, since over the phone they could not do anything about it. 
    I took it in May 11tt, 2012 and the guys at the Genius Bar were stumped?  They had no clue and it was the first time the two gentelmen that helped me heard of this kind of problem! Since there is no moving parts on that side of the computer they escalated the problem "query" to apple engineering and was told it would take a week for a response.  Thus far, I have not been updated on my problem or contacted as to the status of my problem.  Its been 12 days and will be contacting them to see whats up! 
    Will update if problem is resolved!
    Has anyone had this type of problem??  Any advice would be apprciated!!  Thank you

    This might seem a strange answer, but it has fixed this fault on my 27" two year old iMac (at least for a few days now, will be monitoring).
    I had this very fault suddenly develop last week.   It was consistent, the noise increased with screen brightness, but was also present with the screen asleep.
    I looked at every forum on the subject, became almost convinced my fans weren't controlling properly as well.
    I decided it was the switched mode power supply, discussed repair options with my local Apple Store.
    Checked the household mains voltage - I'm in the UK, it was slightly low at 236v AC, but thats acceptable.
    Then ....
    We have a garden full of water features and LED lighting.
    I just decided to check all our power junction boxes that supply power to various pumps and lighting.
    I found one of the boxes full of water, with the Live, Neutral and Earth, and the 12v DC cables all under water and shorted together.   The terminals were all corroded and burnt.
    Yet, I had no faults present in the garden, everything was running normally.   And the RCD breaker had not tripped.
    I repaired the box, fitted new terminals and rewired the box.
    And since I did that, my Mac has cured itself.
    I've had it running for hours to get hot, no noise, gone completely.
    And the mains voltage now measures 242v AC (should be a nominal 240).
    The RCD did not trip because, with all the cables shorted in water, there would no out of balance condition to initiate a trip.
    So, I can only assume that arcing or the short was causing some harmonics on our mains supply that was been picked up by the coils in the Mac power supply.
    The 12v DC supply in the junction box was also supplied by a switched mode supply.   I dont understand why something didnt blow in the garden, but it didnt.
    I'm monitoring the Mac as the solution just seems unrelated.
    Oh, and I noticed our Intruder Alarm panel was humming loudly and now it isn't.
    So, I would suggest anyone with this issue takes note of any unusual humming or buzzing in any other electrical item within the house, or outside.   It may indicate you have an issue elsewhere.
    Even any loose mains plugs in equiment could be causing a slight arcing on the contacts, causing noise on the mains that may be getting picked up.
    Coming from an interest in high-end analogue Hi-Fi, amplifiers always performed better with a dedicated, clean, mains supply, usually from a 40 amp rated cable fed direct from your electricity meter to supply your Hi-Fi.
    The amplifiers would exhibit less noise and a cleaner sound with more detail.   And the transformers in the power supply were a lot quieter too.
    And what do we have today - ethernet tranducers plugged into household sockets, superimposing high frequency signals onto the household wiring.
    They would cause havoc with top-end amplifiers, I'm sure.
    I hope this is the solution, saves me an expensive repair.
    I've never had any problems with the six Macs I've owned in the last 12 years.

  • G500 5.1 Surround. Buzzing noise from the sub/amp?

    Hello everyone, new here =) First off, I am suprised at how many things have gone wrong with the G500 after searching around on the forums.
    I have the G500 + while listening to music (low volume/bass) I start to hear what sounds like someone clicked on a mic and then just a buzzing noise. Thinking it was two wires touching I disconnected the speakers and checked them.
    Everything seems fine, I plug everything back in and the buzzing does not stop. I start smelling an electrical burn and I'm unsure if it's the subwoofer or the amplifier going bad. I'm banking on the amp at this point.
    Anyone have similar problems and might be able to hint me in the right direction? I'm going to be taking it apart later to see if anything stands out on the board.
    Thanks guys

    I appreciate the reply. I did view that thread but I didn't feel it was related to my problem. I don't think it's a blown fuse problem as they still work, but I'm more than sure it will stop working if I keep trying to use them.
    If you think I should just post there because of the knowledgeable people, I'll do so. Thanks a bunch!

  • Buzz noise from 27" iMac

    I've had the iMac (27" i3) for 11 months now and all of a sudden the screen started to buzz today. I tried resetting the power settings by turning it off and unplugging it and restarting it while holding down command+alt+P+R but it still persists. I also noticed that when I turn up the monitor brightness, the noise gets louder and when I dim the monitor the noise gets softer. Is this a warranty issue?

    Hi -
    You can try a SMC (System Management Controller) reset:
    1) Shut down the computer.
    2) Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3) Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    4) Release the power button.
    5) Attach the computers power cable.
    6) Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • To remove the stock from WIP area when confirmation was cancelled.

    Hi Gurus,
    How can we remove the stock that was commited , from the WIP area when we cancel the confirmation.
    Plz help me..
    Thank you.

    Let me understand your problem as followed ..
    You have created an order and did GR.. (For that order you would have done GI in 261)
    Now you have cancelled the confirmation...
    GR also is cancelled( Reversed).The result is the material which you did GR is now at you..i.e WIP
    Your problem is now you should not have materials in WIP..
    for that you have to do 262..Reversal of GI.. Then only the materials that the order contains will be removed... That is what we call as WIP...
    Hope you are clear..
