Whenever I play a game and only when i play a game, a strange buzzing noise comes from my pc. When i put my head near it, it sounds like the buzzing is coming from the power supply. It is a very annoying sound. It could also maybe be the fan in the power supply. Any suggestions to make the sound go away? I am also still under warranty. Thanks a ton!

Also there is one more problem, when i leave my computer it will eventually go into sleep mode which is normal. But about 10 minutes after going to sleep, It will wake up on its own. I don't know why it does this. Then it will go back to sleep and wake up again. If i am using it, it will never go back to sleep.
