PC making buzzing noises while gaming

MudderFreeker · May 27, 2017

I'm having problems with my PC while gaming. When I play games like GTA IV and GMod, my PC tends to make an electrical-like buzzing/zapping noise. Can someone pls help me? This is a Cybertron Rhodium PC. My specs are as listed...

AMD FX-4300 Quad Core
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 803MHz Ram
ASUSTeK Computer INC. M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard
LSP Ultra 650W ATX Power Supply

Two things come to mind:

1. One of your fans is wearing out, making a high pitch rattling sound when at high RPM.

2. Could be coil whine. What graphics card do you have?

I have an XFX Amd Radeon R7 360 2gb I believe

I'd be very suspicious of your PSU.
It's a low quality brand and it sounds like it's failing under load. Do you have access to a better one that you can swap?

No, becuase this one was the one that my OEM, Cybertron Pc, included

Next time the sound happens, get your ear in there and try to figure out exactly where it's from. Some people have had success using an empty paper towel roll pressed to their ear and using the tube to pinpoint a location of a sound.
