Got an older P4 PC. The mobo on it died.
Have now replaced the mobo with a slightly inferior one, but it's working, and reinstalled windows...
As I was finishing installing some applications could hear some crackling.. opened up the pc, but it had already stopped by then... rebooted, it's fine, and then a few minutes later another crackle or two.. but it seems to be as I move the mouse around, oddly enough...
Fine again for another 5 minutes, and then as I move the mouse to the start button, more crackling, and as I move the mouse around the start button, more crackling, sounds like from the hard disk, but can't say 100%.
Was also previously using disk in question on another box while I waited for the replacement mobo to arrive and it was quiet, and is only a month or so old.
Note: this isnt from any pc speakers - none are plugged in!
