| 328848 | 2005-03-05 12:37:00 | Just a thought.....do you have a cell-phone sitting somewhere near the computer? when one of my cell phones is near the computer and does its periodic check for the cell signal it makes lines appear across the monitor and static bursts from the speakers. This lasts for around 5 seconds and then stops again. Yes, I have a cell phone near my pc and also a smartset clock (for those that don’t know what that is) [it is a clock that will download the time from a satellite periodically, also it will set the time back if power goes off with out me having to do any thing.] now I have moved both them even turned off the clock totally (unplugged it) but the problem still prissiest. When you had that problem did it happen when the cell phone was in another room? (This is what I have been thinking it was all the time but I could not find a radio wave or something equivalent that was always near or on when it happened.) well thank you for your input:D |

| 328850 | 2005-03-10 23:15:00 | Well I now know what it is. I recently brought my TV in to my room where the computer is to watch some videos. And when I turned on my cell phone I heard the same thing in the TV. The only thing is that does not tell me why I still hear it when the phone it’s out of the room or is off. Maybe I have a bug some where in here Eh :dogeye: oh well will see. Thank you all for your help |

Yes it is the (staccato "buzz"):thumbs: I could not think of a good way to say it:confused: there for I said "Static" trying to get the idea across (and it worked) none the less I do thank you for clearing that up for us. Thank you again :D |

| 328853 | 2005-03-11 03:43:00 | I will now nominate the "power strip that both the monitor and the speakers use" as the prime suspect. My considered opinion of most powerstrips is that they are dangerous and badly made rubbish. The only ones which are any good are those which are built up using "real" 3 pin sockets. If the plugs pull out of the strip with no or little resistance, bin the strip and replace it. If the pins aren't gripped firmly by the socket contacts, you will get arcing. The arcing might be intermittent, but it's not a Good Thing. |
