I guess if I were a gamer and wanted to get involved in the Burning Crusade, I'd have to get a PC.


silentkid,

Since you are a Mac afficionado, can you venture a guess about the noise this one is making? It sounds like a high pitched eerie sound. I'm starting to get used to it. Or going deaf.

Jersey Girl


Can you mute the thing. Or try turning off, turning on the computer.

Bond


I turned the sound completely off. It's not coming from the speakers. It's coming from inside the monitor. It sounds like twillight zone wave impulses or something.

That sounds bad. Do you have another monitor. Sometimes monitors are interchangable.

Our other computer crashed a few days ago. This one is an "iMac". Where the other computer has a monitor and tower, on this one, it's all inside the monitor. Go figure. Thanks for your ideas.

Sorry, I have no one else to ask at the moment and it's driving me INSANE.


(So that's what's doing it, you ask?)

Thanks in advance if anyone can help!


As a trained technician, I have developed several very simple ways to resolve issues with Macs.

Option 1: Beat it to tiny pieces with a sledge hammer and replace it with a real computer.

Option 2: Click Here for More information

Option 3: Don't ask questions.

Sorry for the snark. I'm a bit tired and feeling funny.

You are such a user, with a capital U on your forehead. Let me guess, you have an AOL account?

One thing you won't have to do with a Mac is reinstall the OS because of viruses, spyware, bots, etc, and just generally USING it.

The iMac you are using is probably 7-10 years old. Old computer hardware regardless of which OS they run are more likely to have problems.

My wife and kids use a 9 year old iMac, running the current Mac OS(10.4) with no problems. Show me a 9 year old windoze box that can run XP.

Jersey Girl: I was going to say the same thing as PP...it sounds like it is a hardware issue.

Vegas: I think the original joke was "What's the most difficult thing about roller-blading?" The answer is the same. Do you know how I know you're gay? You like Coldplay.

You said: "It sounds like a high pitched eerie sound. I'm starting to get used to it. "

With all the anti-mormon sites you visit, My guess is you've invited an evil spirit into your computer. Try recording the sound and playing it backwards, maybe theres a hidden message.

I've got an ancient PII that's running XP just fine. Though i should really put '98 on it so i can play some of my old DOS games.
