Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Whistling could be the invertor
for the backlight having problems.

I should have asked, do you get any display at all in the BIOS, before
it attempts to boot Windows?

Last time I had this was howl around from the internal microphone.
Dont know what started it but I couldnt disable it. So I stuck a piece
of blu-tack over the mic!

If it is the mic then maybe uninstaling the audio in Device Manager
and letting this reinstall following a reboot should get things back
to normal. I did this on my own machine.
