Public bug reported: If the CPU is idle (all 4 cores), then there is a high pitch noise coming from the PC box (probably the CPU or some part of mainboard).
This does NOT happen if: - if I use older kernel from ubuntu 9.04 - If I use kernel 2.6.28-13 - if there is anything running, in example memtester or any program that uses (most of 1 core?) of CPU otherwise, there is constantly this noise. It is probably not from fan. I would guess, too quick frequency scaling causes some strange effect or something? It is definitely NOT from speakers (nor from PC beeper). 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset DRAM Controller (rev 03) details of harderwer I attached here by apport-bug I hope.
