Re: Graphics Card Noise - Help!

I did do a BOIS upgrade, then noticed the noise. It's possible
that caused it. Maybe I should try and go back a REV. I can
also try going back a rev in video drivers as well. The video
card is AGP and using IRQ 15, the Delta is using IRQ 16 but
they are not next to each other in the PCI slots.

IRQ's 15 and 16 ... ??? ... usually the IDE disk controller grabs those.
Anyway you should disable every darn facility that is not in use on that
mobo, serial ports, parallel port, game port, on board sound if any, on
board modem if any. Doing that makes the task of dividing and conquering
hardware resources a lot easier for the OS.

I will try the drivers and BOIS tonight to see if that caused it.

Rolling back would not be my first step in troubleshooting this. I would
load safe defaults, load optimzed defaults, disable unused stuff and
ensure that there is an unused pci slot between all required cards for
optimum cooling, at the very least have the sound card reasonably far
from the videocard. That said, things should not be so critical, it
really ought to just plug and play.
