okey so i got this kinda problem:

When I play any game (like sro) my computer starts to keep very loud noise and thats pretty annoying. When I had vista this happened rarely, but now with Windows 7 it hapens all the time. Whats wrong?

As I said on your previous Win7 QQ post(joke), run it through XP mode(told you how on ur previous post). But I can run SRO without using XP mode.

Is the loud noise very high pitched? If so try enabling Vsync.

The noise is more like hard blowing wind...or how to say that, its not like "piiiii piiii piiiiip"

And All I would like to know is to run Sro like light version of it, when im on desktop or something I can hardly hear any noise.

(Oh and when I start SRO it says that it comes from Unknow publisher and asks Yes or No everytime I start it, how to get that thing away?)

It's the fan on your graphic card that's making the noise.
Running a game stresses the card, making it hot. The fan cools it down, but now it has to blow very hard to remove all the excess heat because the games stresses your graphic card.

Perhaps the airflow in your computer is not good. Consider adding two fans, one for input of fresh air, and one for removing the hot air. You can also consider replacing your current fan on the graphic card with one that is more silent.

Hmmm...I haven't never changed the fan since i got my computer, grapchis card is GeForce 9800 Gt

Did you ever open your pc?
If not, it might be the time to do so. Dust is a fankiller.

its a cooler without a fan and i wouldn't recommend one for that card. it will heat up so much you could cook your eggs on it.

Any ideas for the good cooler for GeForce 9800 Gt, somethign that doesn't keep loud noise and is still quite cheap...How much do they cost anyway? Hope not much over 50€...

http://www.overclock.net/nvidia-cooling ... dvice.html this thread lists a few that might help you.

my one case had bad airflow same thing, i bought a new case fitted it with 7 fans and now i hear nothing. gotta love quiet fans.

Now it really broke, it keeps somekind of rattle noise when I start to play games or sometimes when I even start the computer. Then if it keeps doing that noise or over 5 mins my computer crashes, going to call to one shop and order a new fan, the shop where I bought the whole computer. the graphic card has two years guarantee and I've had that graphic card for little bit over 1 year...

Could be something as easy as a cord stopped a fan from moving resulting in overheat. Open it up and check around before buying anything =p

Okey, so I bought new fan, Zalman VGA Heatpipe cooler or something like that and when I started my computer I was like: Why isn't this dam machine starting?! when I looked at the screen i realised it already started, I love this quiet computer ^^
