computer making high pitched squealing noise

If there is a 'last mile' problem, Shaw can dispatch a technician to work outside of your house (up the telephone-pole, or at the Shaw 'demarcation' box) to test the signal-strength entering your house. The capacitors are powering it long enough to cause the noise. In fact there in almost everything electronic now. These are located throughout a computer in the PS, MB, HDD, CDROM, Graphics cards and more. If I had wheel covers, I would think it was them making this high pitched squeal, but I have rims, so it's not that. What your hearing most likely is a faulty switching voltage regulator. It is from low speeds to high speeds, the sound slightly changes when I apply the breaks, but doesn't go away. This method avoids using the coaxial-cables (both inside your house and out to the nearest telephone-pole, while showing the actual performance of the WiFi adapters - inside the modem and inside your first computer.Īlso, contact Shaw (online-chat or telephone) and ask them to remotely logon to your modem, to check the signal-strength at the point where the coaxial cable enters the modem. Also, this does not sound anything like the normal break wear indicator sound. From your kitchen, try to copy those files onto your first computer, while using the 'Performance' tab within the Windows 'Task Manager' to view the instantaneous usage of your network connection. If noise continues you may need to take the computer apart to do more cleaning of the fans. Another option is to shut your computer off and let it cool down. If you have a second computer, use Windows Networking to 'share' a folder on that computer (preferably connected via CAT-5e (or CAT-6) Ethernet cable to your modem, and put some large files into that folder. The high pitched noise may be due to your fans needing to be cleaned, try blowing air forwards and backwards through the fan.

Maybe, try a different method of measuring the speed.
