Hi all,
I've usually been able to troubleshoot all my computer/technology problems by searching the forum and google, however, this one has me stumped. I'm new to the community, so please enlighten me if I'm not following any forum rules properly.
I recently did a drastic upgrade on my desktop and I now encounter two problems which I am not sure if they are related or not. Actually, it's a brand new system, just with the old case, power supply, dvd-drive, and I'm using my old WD hard drive as a secondary.
Problem 1: High pitch noise. It sounds like it is coming from the graphics card. It is not constant, and is actually quite random from what I have been experiencing. However, once I was in photoshop and noticed that I could trigger this noise when hovering my mouse cursor over two different tool icons.
Problem 2: My PC would randomly reboot every once in a while. Maybe once every couple of days. I disabled automatic restart on system failure, and get the BSOD with code 0x0000003b.
System:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Asus P8Z68-V LE
Intel i5 - 2500 3.30GHz
16GB Corsair Vengeance LP - Blue
Sapphire Radeon HD6870 1GB GDDR5
Crucial M4 128GB (C
WD Caviar Black 600GB (D --- I think
WD 2500KS 300GB (G
Antec Truepower 650W Power Supply
Antec P183 Case
Please advise on some solutions and guidance.
I've updated the drivers for my graphics card from the sapphire website; no help.

http://arpeus.com/downloads/MVI_0237_1.mp3 --- audio of the high pitch noise. @ 20 seconds, that sound is me stopping 1 of 2 fans for clarity.
Thanks!
