High pitched hum

Hi, I was getting an intermittent high pitch hum from my PC as though something decided to kick in (fan?) with more revs. After replacing my 17 inch monitor (burnt out) with a new 19 inch widescreen, I now get the noise continually, and the text appears to be a lighter colour. Any clues anyone? I was thinking it's the video card with fan attached as maybe the video card can't support the bigger monitor, and cause the text to lighten.

Thanks. The repair bill for the noise problem (new video card and fan) was too high so purchased a new machine.
