Hia guys,

I've just built a new PC. One issue im having is that as soon as i play a game, the PSU goes nuts - it begins to buzz very loudly (to me and i suspect most, unbearable).

The PC is a shuttle -

650w PSU
MSI G956M
Dual Core E6600
Sapphire Radeon X1950Pro
2gb Ram
HD + DVDRW

It happens when i start playing FEAR, but is fine in Vista. I can notice it ramping up when i ran some general benchmarks.

I'm sure it it began half way through last night (first night) but cannot be certain so i would like to know if you think it is faulty, or just the way it is supposed to be?

Any help very much appreciated! :D

Thanks.


I thought being rated 650w would be sufficient :(
