I have a question for those in the know how. An ex of mine called me because she was playing around with her computer and had opened the case to do something unrelated, I think install new ram, which as far as I can see went ok. Apparently, while the computer was still on, god forbid she tried to plug the floppy disc drive plug into the fdd socket and the machine went dead.
So she calls me and I switch on off and nothing. I then do a clear CMOS and it boots up fine, however I noticed that the PSU or something, possibly cpu (pwm) fan, on the system seems slightly noisier. I say noisier because she had a 'silent' system before. She has a Zalman 600HP. I don't know whether it might have damaged a component in the psu but I would assume if it blew anything that it wouldn't work at all so any advice as to where the extra noise might be coming from, and how possibly to prevent it, would be much appreciated. Incidentally I have set the quiet fan setting in bios back again, default being disabled.
Thanks
