| 1174948 | 2011-02-03 05:58:00 | My pc has started making a high pitched sound. Could it be loose bearings in the fans? I don't think it is the psu as then the sound would be constant? This happens normally when opening/loading files, and surfing the internet (especially images on trademe). What can I do? BTW also happens pretty much whenever i click on anything on the internet. (post number 800 woot!) |

| 1174949 | 2011-02-03 06:03:00 | Open the case and see where its coming from | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1174950 | 2011-02-03 06:09:00 | I can here the sound all the time with the side off but it gets louder when I do stuff (click, scroll etc). I'll turn it off and unplug the case fan and see if it fixes. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1174951 | 2011-02-03 06:13:00 | Ok, still making sound and louder than ever. The case fan must have been drowing it out :lol:. It's not the cpu fan as it still whines when that is stopped. So psu or the actual motherboard. What do you think speedy? |

| 1174952 | 2011-02-03 06:15:00 | It could be something in the PSU. The mobo isnt loose is it? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1174953 | 2011-02-03 06:19:00 | will check. people on other forums say sometimes psu's whine just before the die. It was a Chinese-branded psu that i was going to replace anyway. If it is the psu I'll contact the Elive and see what they can do about warranty. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1174954 | 2011-02-03 06:23:00 | When you say "loose" I assume you mean physically. If so no it's not. btw psu has 3 year warranty so if it's the psu I'm covered. |

| 1174955 | 2011-02-03 06:28:00 | Also awhile ago my pc died (power) for no reason. I'm guessing that is linked to this. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1174956 | 2011-02-03 06:30:00 | The PSU's probably died, if youre using crappy PSU's | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1174957 | 2011-02-03 07:30:00 | Locate sound with cardboard tube. | PPp (9511) | ||
