Re: Screeching noise

No it's not new I built it about 2 years ago.
The temperatures are OK in the BIOS and sometimes the noise starts when it's cold and just booted up.
No error messages.
I'll try re-seating the memory.
Thanks, I'll get back.
Regards.

Are you talking about a new build?

What do you mean by "apparently"?
Can you get into the BIOS? Is there a list of temperatures?

Do you see any error messages before Windows loads?

I suppose it's common sense that your computer isn't going to
screech for no reason. I suppose the only critical fault that might
produce such an error would be overheating or maybe the lack of a
critical component like CPU or memory. Have you tried re-seating the
memory?

Good luck.
