Hello forum,
first of all, I posted this at 'sound', not sure if it's the right place, please move the topic if it's not.
Anyway, here is my problem: my Hp Pavillion g6 has been producing a high pitched noise from the moment I bought it (about a year ago), I throught I couldn't do anything about it and thus gave up at first, but recently I found this: http://asusnoise.blogspot.nl/ , It's a discription for ASUS laptops of how to solve problems with a high pitched noise coming from the laptop. I throught: 'the hell of it, even though it's for ASUS laptops, let's give it a spin'. And guess what? The moment I did the last step (disabling idle processor), the sound stopped. So it's all good in the end? not really....
With this solution the laptop's fan is going berserk, (probably because the processor is always running at max with 'idle processor' disabled) and switching one annoying sound for another ain't really a solving grace as you'll probably understand.
After this I went searching online for another solution (because from now on I had the confidence that it CAN be solved after hearing it dissappear) and found only this: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=nl&lc=nl&dlc=nl&docname=c00965412 . Sadly I don't have this option in my BIOS and I have a feeling it's similair to the idle processor solution anyway.
Btw, when starting up the laptop and when accessing the BIOS the sound isn't there either, like you'd expect since it's apparantly a process.
So long story short: do you guys have another way of solving the high pitched sound next to the two mentioned by me? Maybe a service that can be turned off without the fan going berserk?
