As it was stated above, my pc makes a weird and a bit loud noise. It started doing it around the 10th of January, but it lasted only 3 hours. That noise was never heard again, until today (26th of January). I personally think it was the PSU (power supply) and to be a little bit more sure, i opened the PC case and turned on the computer and started listening where exactly was the noise coming from and i still believe that it was coming from the power supply.
I know for a fact that you are going to say that there are many other people who posted the same thing as me (their power supply was making weird noises etc.), but i looked up the forum and searched threads which had the same problem as me and every single thing people answered to them was to make sure the fan wasn't hitting anything (cables, case..), the power supply wasn't dusty or had any bugs in it and such things. I can say that their answers could be helpful but on my case they weren't.
I cleaned my pc as good as i can, made sure nothing was hitting anything and still my power supply kept making that noise. Of course, the problem could be the fan of the power supply, because my pc build is a little bit old.
My PC parts are:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.50GHz
RAM: 4,00GB Single-Channel DDR2 399MHz
MOTHERBOARD: FUJITSU SIEMENS MS-7504VP-PV (CPU 1)
STORAGE: 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EACS-07D6B1 ATA Device (SATA)
GPU: LL 3220T (1920x1080@60Hz)
1024MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 (Sapphire/PCPartner)
I don't actually remember the PSU (a little bit ironic don't you think?
) brand and i am not going to open the PC case once more because i am not willing to spend 30 minutes trying to remove all the cables and the screws just to see what brand is my PSU.. i just know that it is a 450W one.
Just to sum all this up, my power supply makes a weird noise that it shouldn't be doing and it started suddenly doing it. My pc is clean and everything is connected to each other successfuly. Also, my PC is about 7 years old!
