Open it, then search for mice and other assorted animals which might screech. (e.g. a harpy). ;)

Seriously, I blame the harddisk, but that is only a guess. I'd open it and then power it on; You can easily hear which component is making screeching noises. If its the harddisk, you should replace it; HDD screeching noises are a common sign of soon-coming HDD death,

Used to get some pretty weird grinding noises from my old PC. Hitting it, i discovered, caused it to stop. It wasn't until years later i discovered that it was the fan, no doubt clogged and choking its protest.

Hitting things and using duct tape are the answers to ALL problems.

Viper8896, I found these "Ads by Goooooooogle" at the bottom of the page. Do you think they might help with that noise? "Soundproof Windows": that's an OS, right?

I have the same problem if I leave the computer off fpr to long, a good kick does the trick;
