Sometimes my computer sounds like it has a wasp stuck in it...


i can sometimes hear a faint buzz (squealing) sort of sound... this is just occasional though...and i aint a clue what it is....?!

nothing to do with the fans, so im really confused.... anyone have ANY idea what it could be?

p.s. there is no insect in the pc

found it out...

2 screws hold the hdd in place.. each have rubber washers around them... one of them was hanging off... therefore the hdd was just touching the metal casing where the actual hdd goes... so when in operation it vibrated against the metal..

fixed now :p

plus i didnt know i could reduce my cpu heatsink from 2000rpm to 1700rpm

very quiet now :p
