I have recently discovered a high pitched, what seems to be, static-y noise coming from my PSU. I decided it was static-like when I fiddled around with it and my PC instantly restarted saying it had protected me from a power surge.

1) Is my computer safe to run with this?
2) What can I do? Do I need to take it to an expert / Get a new one?

If your psu still under warranty, RMA it. It sounds like your psu having coil whine and its ground for replacement. Can you tell me what psu you have and other spec of your system just to know its not underpowered
