My XFX 4890 XXX edition video card makes loud hissing sounds whenever I do something graphics intensive like play games. If I enable V-sync the sounds significantly settle down, but are still very audible.
And just the other day it made a bunch of hissing sounds when I was at my desktop and reverted Windows 7 to a less GPU intensive theme, without the Aero effects. I restarted and it worked normally again.
Also, I use a Dell 2709w monitor with it, and twice every hour, sometimes it's just once or twice every 4 hours or so, it will flicker for about two seconds and show the "DVI" symbol at the top-right of the monitor. VERY annoying but tolerable, I suppose.
Help would be appreciated...
Also, i've heard of "flashing bios" or something, but I have no idea what that means. If you're going to suggest it, please explain how I would do it.
