862686 2010-03-01 10:57:00 Could also be a temp alarm like thermal paste not applied correctly. Sweep (90)
862687 2010-03-01 19:12:00 Or a case fan, or CPU fan pctek (84)
862688 2010-03-01 19:15:00 True pctek. Could even be feedback from mic and speakers. Sweep (90)
862689 2010-03-01 23:38:00 Or, possibly, a mouse getting his tail caught in a fan? linw (53)

Never thought of that but I guess it's possible. :-)

862691 2010-03-02 07:19:00 Thanks for all that.

I went in and got the computer off my mate and i've been running stress tests on components and it hasn't so far been making the noise which is annoying cause needing to know what the problem is. He has been using a CRT monitor which I'll get him to use on a different system to test.

I might just replace the PSU and give it back to him and see if that fixes the problem.

I applied the thermal grease correctly done it many times and i've checked the temps and they're all fine.

He didn't have any speakers plugged in.

The PSU is Thermaltake Brand.
