I'm experiencing the same kind of problems. On my system, the buzzing seems
to come from my SoundBlaster. It seems to be when any kind of IRQ is
triggered. It happens at almost the same time as heavy HD access, sometimes
with comports (serial mouse/modem), sometimes just all the time (IRQ0?),
seemingly a different pitch though..
The same kind of thing happens when Win95 boots up, but after it has
initialized the card, it goes away.
