ok, so for the past few days ive noticed an obnoxious sound coming from my computer, that sounds a lot like when a crt has that annoying high pitched whine.
it only seems to happen when doing graphic intensive shit, and initially i couldnt tell where it was coming from
but after a little research i discovered something called coil whine and that appears to be the problem, i just don't know what to do about it
suggestions?

You're sure it's not CRT whine? I get that sound too every now and then, and a good slap to my moniter usually fixes it.

ah, and now the current one no longer works.
i go to change out the power strip with a new one and i plug it all in and it starts for about 5 seconds, then turns off, strangely enough leaving the power led on the front on. luckily enough i have this laptop, but no games for two days, meh.
