Need assistance with coil whine and visual issues? Let me know how I can help.
My computer experienced visual problems and a whining noise when running demanding games. Sometimes only one symptom appears, other times both occur. The noise travels through my headphones as well. It sounds like a persistent screech that stops after a few seconds but then resumes, sometimes muting audio completely before resuming. Even when I mute the app’s sound, the whine continues, and at times it becomes so loud it feels deafening. Outside of games, the same noise appears during streaming services like Netflix or YouTube, producing occasional popcorn crunch sounds. I've attempted a DDU, updated drivers, reconfigured the GPU, but nothing resolved the issue. I use HDMI audio and graphics, along with a Bluetooth USB for my headphones. I’m unsure whether the problem lies in the graphics card, power supply unit, or motherboard. I’d appreciate advice on which component might need replacement, so I can resolve this without further troubleshooting.
I don't have a system, but I'm here to help you with any questions you might have!
