Hello I have a whisling motherboard as well.Its the little black round speaker and it keeps
whisling and won't stop when the computer goes into windows 98.
I have an IBM clone 256 pentitum 3 ,a CD burner and a second drive as well,2gig hard drive
I have had my share of headaches with this machine when I decided to change hard drives and and an IBM hard drive 80 gig fun started when the drive went bad in 6 months it was replaced but still in just a few months it got bad sectors.We reloaded windows 98 but didn't work right.So we took out the drive and put the old drive back in then the crazy thing
started to lock up,found the graphics card was bad replaced it but even before it was replaced the Machine when it went into Windows it started to WHISLE and will not stop.
Found the whisle came from a little speaker on the motherboard.Monitor says theres
a problem with power management. So some suggested it was a stuck key on the keyboard or the Bios Battery.Which I unpluged the keyboard,no difference.I don't believe the Battery is the Problem.Also set the Bios on power management back to factory specks no difference.But do think that something is wrong with the POWER SUPPLY
WHAT DO YOU FOLKS THINK? Or is something unpluged? I would like to fix this machine if
I can for my daughter if its even possible. Thank You for reading my ramblings and hope you can help me out here. kdmc60
