I just upgraded from an Integrated Intel video card to an ATI Radeon 9200se
(AGP) on my HP, and among other problems such as flashing back and forth to
a black screen on startup and running dxdiag, my monitor has been making
this really annoying high-pitched buzzing sound whenever the graphics change
on the screen. ie: when I use the scrollbar, when I minimize/maximize a
window, even when I view a simple animated image, I will hear this buzzing
sound. I upgraded in order to play The Sims 2, but whenever I play it the
buzzing sound goes CRAZY and I can barely play the game it's so annoying.
The noise is coming from the monitor itself, not the speakers, because I
hear it no matter where the volume is at. I disabled the video card for a
bit to try installing new drivers (the drivers are listed as Radeon 9250
now, I don't know if that's a problem or not since this is a 9200se), and
when I wasn't using the Radeon, I didn't hear the noise, so I know this has
something to do with the new video card. My refresh rate is set at 60 hertz.
Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this? Is it possible my
monitor (HP Pavilion mx70) can't handle the video card?

And if this can't be fixed, I'll have to go back to my old card, because the
noise and the flashing black screens are just too irritating. Does anyone
know exactly how to do that? Would I just plug the monitor back into the
integrated card, and then Windows will reinstall the drivers for it itself?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. - Running an HP Pavilion 753n, 2.53ghz Intel Pentium 4, 512mb RAM,
previous video card was an Integrated Intel i830 graphics card.

Did you disable the integrated card in your BIOS? That is probably the
problem.
