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!

Thanks.
I thought being rated 650w would be sufficient

Wish I'd have found this forum before i ordered
