clicking sounds and slowdows
 

hi all

first off im a noob, the only command i know out of my mind is the sudo su and apt-get update, the other commands i copy paste in to the terminal XD.

the isseu i have with linux mint 18(maybe the 18.1 version) sarah
that i hear these i wouldnt realy say clicking sounds but more of these electrical peeps, at times it goes worse it slows down linux, thus far i only know it happens when im somewhere on an internet page and im scrolling down, when it goed down a bit there comes the sound again IIIIEEEEEEEEE peep down again IIIIEEEEEEEEE peep and so on and so on.

you guys probaly need a sreenshow/screenwriteout ofcourse i dont know the commands nor the quick key button for the screenshot, or maybe ill just cope paste it all.

and o yeah i have linux dual boot with winxp < the only way i could think of of still being able to play bg, iwd, nwn2.
the loading is in to linux grub, and no i do not have these strange sounds nor the slowdowns in winxp.

Greetings,
Naijerana

Hello and welcome to the forum :)

What would be ideal is if you could post a video of this somewhere. That way, we could see and hear better what's going on. With respect to screenshots, although somewhat dated, you can see if the instructions here help. Then you can use the "Attach Files" option under "Additional Options" (which is below the text box you use to write out your post when using the "Go Advanced" or "Quote" method of reply,) to upload your screenshot(s).

Also, what is the make and model (and model number) of your computer exactly and what is the processor, amount of memory and graphics chip? What browser are you using when this happens and does it happen when you use other browsers? Does this happen only with specific content (such as flash player videos) or is it more random?
