How to stop the high pitched noise emitted by Dell Latitude E7240

How to stop the high pitched noise emitted by Dell Latitudes 

My Dell E7240 emits a high pitched noise and it has been driving me crazy. 

I have updated the bios, clean installed widows 8, 8.1 and 10 and nothing helped. I have been on the phone with Dell for hours but their answer was that I was crazy.

After endless search on the internets, I found that this is because that the processor is moving in to C3 state. 

To resolve this, go to your Device Manager, right-click "Intel Wireless Bluetooth Module", and select properties. Select the "Power Management" tab, and uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" checkbox.

Once you've done this, the world balance is restored!

Introducing the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P

Google has just made that official at its event in San Francisco this morning two new phones, the smaller, mid-range Nexus 5X and the bigger, flagship Nexus 6P. Like the Galaxy S6 and note 5, Sony Z5 and Z5 premium, Iphone 6 and 6 plus.....

Nexus 5X is made by LG, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 CPU, 2GB of RAM and a 12.3MP rear camera with laser-assisted autofocus, dual flash that's capable of shooting 4K video. There's a 2,700mAh battery inside, and it's going to be available in both 16GB and 32GB versions with colors including black, white and ice blue. Nexus 5X pricing starts at $379, it will begin shipping in late October and two years of Nexus Protect coverage are available for $69.

Nexus 6P is made by Huawei, it has Snapdragon 810 v2.1 processor with 3GB of RAM,  and also a12.3-megapixel back camera with an impressive f/2.0 aperture and what should be a pretty solid autofocus system -- Google says it uses IR lasers to assist with autofocus, a feature found on devices like LG's G4. The 6P will start at $499 for a 32GB model and will start shipping in October.
