 Computer making noise when computer is on or off I've had this problem with my computer for quite a little while now. I had it built in the summer of '05. I'm not quite sure when it started, but I do know this. When you pay a cheap price for something, you pay twice. I had someone build this computer for me, and he didn't really do it right, nor did I know exactly what I was doing as far as components were concerned. Anyways, the computer makes a noise, even if I turn the power switch off on the computer. When I totally turn the power supply off or unplug the computer, the noise stops. So, it has to be the power supply. The question is: Is it the fan or is it the actual power supply? I also think my computer has an issue with overheating. My video card fan for an nVidia 6800 basically was partially melted and it basically fell off when I was looking at it after taking it out so that has me worried a bit. I don't know if the back power supply fan was ever installed correctly. I say this because my computer has just about always made a noise. If it wasn't the rear power supply unit fan vibrating, it has been this noise I am writing of in this thread. I believe one computer tech person told me my PSU fan needed replacing (the rear PSU fan), but I also think the back PSU fan only comes on when it gets to a certain temperature. Perhaps I misjudged that. Thanks for your time, ~David J.       |

| Computer making noise when computer is on or off Some of the better power supplies continue to run the fan after the PC has been shut down until the power supply has cooled to a certain temp. Maybe its that?

| Computer making noise when computer is on or off That is a possibility. I will take closer notice of my computer and the noise at different times in relation to when it was turned off and when it was turned on. I do recall in the past, hearing the noise I speak of, even in the morning, when the computer switch (not the main power) has been turned over night for 8+ hours. Note: The noise is more of a high pitch sound. Last edited by DTownDave22 : 10-12-2007 at 11:42 PM. |

| Computer making noise when computer is on or off 8+ hours? That kinda rules out my idea I guess.lol Maybe the PSU is faulty,it seems like a strange fault though.
