| 782925 | 2009-06-22 07:40:00 | Ar I have fixed it, Got a new psu, put it in and still made the sound, I swore. So I went through everything ram, hdd, gpx. Wasn't any of those, then I saw the case speaker, riped it out and BLISS! This was a blessing in hiding because it allowed me to find the broken fan in the psu and possibly save another problem to happen. Cheers Tunez |

| 782926 | 2009-06-23 04:22:00 | But why was the case speaker making the noise? There may be some other problem here also.. Probably, a cheap crap capacitor in the cheap crap raidmax PSU burst from overheating due to the failed fan. Ripple filtering then goes out the window, and we all know how much motherboards love high ripple. And of course, ANY time your PSU or any other parts make a "pop" noise (or any other strange noises) you should always turn it off straight away. By this I mean rip out the power cord. Better to loose your game of AOE than have your PSU burst into flames taking several hundred GB of data along with it for a fiery ride to hell |
