Hi,
About a month ago I have built a new PC. Here are the specs:
Intel Core i7-4770
Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H
8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Sapphire HD7950 Vapor-X
Cooler Master GX Bronze 650W PSU
So there was this one day I was playing Dota 2, when suddenly a loud, continuous buzzing noise breaks the silence in my room (I wear headphones), and the buzzing won't stop. I took off my headphones, place my head closer to the side of the desktop and it seemed to me that the buzzing noise came from the PSU. The only way for me to stop the buzzing is to restart the PC.
So I went back to the shop and they exchanged the PSU with the same make and model, hoping that it will solve the buzzing issue. Unfortunately, the buzzing came back about a week later, this time while I was playing GTA IV. Once again, I had to restart the PC to stop the buzzing noise, realizing that the culprit is not the PSU.
Soon after, it happened again, this time I wasn't playing any games, the computer was at idle while downloading a game. While the buzzing noise was going on, I opened up the side of the case, attempting to identify the source. It turns out to be the motherboard speaker (the small, cylindrical speaker attached to a wire which in turn is attached to the motherboard). I can confirm that's the source of the buzzing noise; I placed my thumb over it and the buzzing noise is slightly muted.
This buzzing issue has left me completely baffled. I have no idea why it buzzes (it seems to go off rather randomly), and certainly I have found no solution for it. Which is why I'm here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
