Squeal usually means your GPU power cable is loose or disconnected.

It does sound like your gpu is playing up, norm when theres just a constant squeal it means either graphics is fcuked or badly seated or not getting any power from psu

Sorry to say
but the basics are often overlooked have you tried re-installing all drivers and re-seating the card or the ram? |
