Hi All:
Inadvertently "fried" my power supply (put 240V on receptacle serving computer). I installed an old working power supply and computer boots up, but I'm getting a sound similar to the sirens now used on medical emergency vehicles (or foreign police cars). Sounds like it's coming from the hard drive. Do you have any idea what this may be? Thanks, Jim |

Sounds like the PSU is too low wattage to run your GFX card, they do that when they are not getting enough power or do not have the power plugged into them, some GFX cards need a power lead as well as being in the slot on the mobo.

Post your PC spec and PSU wattage if in doubt.

Thanks, Dave Hybrid:
No luck so far. I don't have a GFX card...mine is on-board. What I have tried so far is as follows:

I wouldn't really bother when a for-sure good one is so cheap - the new computer may have higher requirements, and because generic PSUs may have inflated wattage totals, it's probably easier just to pop a new one in.
