A strange grinding noise.
« on: May 04, 2014, 09:11:06 pm »
So this week I started hearing grinding noises come from my computer. I know the possible sources of this, and right now I'm suspecting my graphics card of being the culprit, but I noticed that in any game I played (except Warband) the grinding noise would not occur. If I played Warband, the noise would only occur in singleplayer battles, and then only when I made an attack on a bot, or a bot(s) made an attack on me. The grinding noises coincided exactly when the attacks made by my character or the bot(s) landed.

I'm just wondering if anyone has a specific explanation for this, considering it's so strange (at least to me). If not, suggestions on how I can find an answer?

I'm no expert on computers whatsoever but you might want to check the fans of your videocard / cpu. It might be that for some reason when the fan speeds up it makes a grinding noise. Otherwise i wouldn't know but it's worth trying i guess.

What graphics card do you have? That would help  :)
