A very strange buzz/vibration from case
Hi
I hope someone can point me in the right direction to cure this buzz I get from my pc. It is very strange and I'll attempt to explain it as best I can.
I have just replaced my motherboard, cpu, memory and case and after assembling everything I began a clean install of Win7pro. At some point during the instalation I got this very annoying buzz (like an electrical buzz) from the chassis so after the installation of windows, started the process of elimination. I removed the GPU, each HD (in turn) and various other things but each time the buzz appeared once windows started to load - I can sit in the Bios quite happily with no buzz.
After a while I noticed that playing a video file in windows (either on a webpage - You Tube for example or by playing one of my files; video or audio) the buzzing would stop and also that it didn't matter whether my sound was physically turned on or not or whether the video/audio file was on top of my other open windows.
So I am now using the pc with a video running in the background (tucked away out the side of the screen) so I don't get annoyed by this odd noise.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing windows and my hardware to interact in this way when a file is not playing?
Any help would be great for my sanity at the moment...
Thanks in advance.
