    F3Jc won't start after shutdown or standby

    Hi, i have a brand new Asus Z53J (F3Jc motherboard), which has a serious problem.

    Many times i can hear a really annoying high-frequency noise coming from the processor/fan side, either it's on AC or DC. If I hear this noise during a session, and after that i go standby or shut down, it won't wake up. I have tried every button combination, removing and reinserting the battery and AC power but just nothing. It just won't respond. After an hour or so, it fixes itself, and when I press the power button it operates normally.

    I really think this has to do with the low frequency noise described above. When I hear this noise, the RPM of the fan are increasing a bit also. The noise is high frequency and really gets on you nerves, like the one that broken power supplies do.

    I've updated the BIOS, drivers, recovery CD but still the same.

    Also, the fan is always on, but I don't care about this so much

    Has anyone experienced anything similar?

    Thank you in advance :)
