Hey all,

We've come across a problem with many Geforce 8800 and xx cards that seems 
to be a potential BIG problem for NVIDIA. It is being reported in many 
forums across the Net. So far NVIDIA nor any PSU maker has said any official 
statement. It seems to (maybe) be a problem with faulty transistors on many 
88xx cards and combination of many PSU's on the market that cause the cards 
to squeal at shutdown (low power alarm some say). Other times the card will 
squeal during a reboot or motherboard reset. It depends on your Power 
Supply..maybe. Another problem and the most annoying one is the constant 
electronic buzzing sound caused by many, games. Oblivion and Company Of 
Heroes are big ones, as well as many benchmarks like 3D Mark, ATItool's 3D 
view and others.
Some say the card is not getting enough power form the PSU. Others say it's 
a faulty card. Others say ALL 8800 cards are faulty.

Please test your cards with your games and this tool and listen for a loud 
buzzing sound from your card. It's a popular 3D tool don't worry, but it 
sets off the buzzing/squealing almost right away on many cards. Please test 
your cards and list your makes of video card and Power Supply. If your does 
it ask your vendor/manufacturer for support and see if we can nail down this 
problem. I think it may be widespread.

I have a XFX Geforce 8800GTX with a OCZ GameXstream 700W PSU and the buzzing 
is there. But not at shutdown. With the same card and a Corsair HX620 PSU 
the buzzing is still there as well as a shrieking/squealing at shut down.

Here are links to other threads with the same problem. First links are the 
sounds itself. Mine is similar but different.
