| 482420 | 2006-09-07 11:18:00 | I had a buzzing sort of noise at one stage, when I moved the mouse or somthing. I was being lazy ignoring it cause I knew the cause so today I re-tidied all my cables and tied them up with velcro cable ties etc - especially the one going from my amp to the back of the sound card - I moved it off the power cables and multi-box it was sitting on and voila - no more noise. And its all so pretty now too.....colour coded ties etc. As for that ridiculous policy of that shop, how does damaging a sticker prove or disprove they caused a problem with the PC? It proves nothing except they were ultra paranoid or looking for an excuse.Don't know, don't care. And yeah they were paranoid asses. Funny thing is, somehow they stayed (and are still) in business, despite losing one customers harddrive for weeks, stalling another customer for over four weeks for a job that should have taken 3 or 4 days (admittedly there were complications OS-wise), and losing another customers cpu (the computer was upgraded, and the customer wanted all the old parts) |

| 482421 | 2006-09-15 18:08:00 | I think you are all looking into this a little too deeply. The sound was described as a bee, not a buzz. There is a rather annoying ad around at the moment, "Swat the Mosquito and win a laptop", the usual sort of ad scam. You hear the sound of a mosquito buzzing. The ad appears to unsubscribed users of Paltalk for example. It drops a small looped .wav file into temp internet files and a cookie. The file seems to have an annoying habit of playing itself at random intervals. My guess is deleting temp files/cookies will fix the problem, until it reappears. | fenderbloke (11088) | ||
