Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
My computer is doing some odd things which are as follows
1) if i try to get it to hibernate, it immediately reboots as soon as it has gone into hibernate mode. it only does this once though, if i hibernate again after it has rebooted it will shut off.
2) if i put my computer into standby and leave it there for a while, it wont boot back up. the tower fans come back on but thats it.
3) when playing some games, a weird noise comes from my computer. its sounds like a high pitched electrical noise. i think its coming from the graphics card put im not sure, its hard to pinpoint. the noise changes slightly depending on the colours on the screen. bright colours seem to have the biggest effect on the sound.
besides this the rig seems to be behaving normally. i havent noticed any graphical corruption and the system appears to be stable.
my specs are:
processor: core 2 extreme qx6700
Motherboard: Asus P5N32E sli plus
Power Supply: tagan 700W power supply
Graphics card: geforce 8800GTX
HDD: Western Digital raptor 10,000rpm
OS: Windows XP media center edition.
at the mo im suspecting the power supply. i think it could be behaving oddly. however any ideas would be most welcome. thanks in advance.
