Dell XPS 9360 buzzing sound from graphics card (?)

[idata]

I have a new Dell XPS 9360, and there is a buzzing sound every time there graphics change on the screen.

I noticed from previous forum posts that this was present on the 9350 model, and was something to do with the drivers for intel graphics card - the Intel (R) HD Graphics 620. Previous post here

Is there an update for this driver?

The PC had done some updates, I noticed the change in noise after these. It is a faint buzzing, always present but gets louder when I scroll on the trackpad.

Hello tomh4530,

I was wondering if you still need assistance regarding the buzzing sound that was coming from the graphics card. If you still need assistance just let me know. Regards,Fred

Hi Fred

I've followed these procedures, and the bussing is still there. Plus, the PC wants to re-update all the drivers to newer versions.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
