822326 2009-10-20 16:24:00 I just bought my Desktop the day before yesterday, and I just turned it on today, and it started making a loud humming sound, I notice when the computer monitor is off, it doesnt make this sound, but when i turn it on, it starts the sound right away.

Not really sure what this is, thought it could be a video card problem, but I just bought the computer, figured it really wouldnt be that :c

If it only makes this noise when the monitor is turned on, then it suggests an electrical problem with the monitor.

Just to check, when you turn the monitor off you are turning the power off to the monitor only, and not the entire computer?

Can you try the monitor on a different computer?

Either way, your fault should be covered by your new computer warranty. :)
