I recently changed my motherboard to a Biostar M7NCD, and it has been excellent except for one little problem: the power LED on the case sometimes doesn't come on. If I were to shut down my computer, unplug the power cable, and plug it back in, the LED wouldn't turn on when I turned on my computer. However, if I simply shut it down without unplugging the power, and turn it back on, the LED would work properly. The IDE LED, however, always works fine. I definitely hooked it up correctly, and I can't figure out this problem.

Also, sometimes, especially when under load, my computer makes a whistling sound. Any hypotheses as to that annoyance?
