Hi Poly, Thanks for replying. I could not figure out any way to suppress all that noise that comes from=20 my system. Upon opening the cabinet to investigate, all that I could make o= ut=20 was that the noise originates from the motherboard. It's possible that=20 this motherboard uses lower grade capacitors and electronics, which could b= e=20 the root problem. Being obsessive, I decided that I don't want to keep=20 bearing all that noise forever, and so I decided to order a new MB -=20 despite the fact that the 'current' MB is almost brand new itself, just=20 about 2 weeks old. I am now moving to a fairly expensive Gigabyte board which does NOT have=20 integrated graphics. Since my nvidia card works well with FreeBSD, I don't= =20 need integrated grahics any more. If the MB move fails to take care of the noise, I will next try a new CPU=20 fan (and then maybe the RAM modules; and then maybe ?? ... I am out of=20 ideas at this stage - perhaps just a piece of rope to tie around my neck). Regards Manish Jain
