ParMizaN	Posted - 2006.04.14 16:34:00 - [5] My stepdads computer did that or a while but doesnt any more. No idea why. Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful
Raven Aure	Posted - 2006.04.14 16:57:00 - [6] It's most likely an off center fan. If it sounds like an electrical whine then I'd disconnect the power supply and have someone with sone experience check it over. They're not too expensive to replace anyway. ______________________ Originally by: Double TaP hippo, other guy, calm down. lets be friends. yall are arguing about the different meanings of the word zerg.
Hellraiza666	Posted - 2006.04.14 17:06:00 - [7] its only a month or 2 old >< cuz the last 1's fan got ******. Although this noise doesnt sound anything like the last time my PSU fan went bust. Its more high pitched.
Spahn X	Posted - 2006.04.14 18:39:00 - [8] Does it continue to make the noise if you remove your new video card? Is there a burning electrical smell? Is it a cheap power supply? By cheap, I mean did it come with the case (if personally built system)? Generally, you're better off buying a power supply separately from the case. Don't be cheap, it is one of thew few components in a computer where it really pays to fork out some extra cash.

Big Muthatrucker	Posted - 2006.04.15 11:31:00 - [14] I have found if you keep your computer on the floor and you have a wife/gf...or in the case of alot of online gaming geeks a mother who cleans your room, that I am constantly finding long dark female hair all over the place. As I said computer on the floor = hair sucked into fans...hair gets wrapped around the axle. In the cases where the noise dissapears after 5 minutes thats your fan motor struggling to build momentum in the fan enough to break free of the hold of hair...till the fan stops and has to struggle again.
