I had a humming noise coming from my sub on my Logitech Z-5500 speakers. I found out it was the plug from the control panel, the plug is like a 15-pin VGA monitor plug. The plug was a little loose even when tightening the screws. I ended up squeezing the outer metal on the plug and solved the...

I'm running the same CPU as you but mine is overclocked @ 3.6Ghz. When the game first came out is was really struggling with my Zotac 8800GT AMP! card this was with settings low/medium. I then purchased a ATI HD5870 I maxed and enabled out all my settings and it ran smooth as at 1920x1200...
