	GRRRRRR!!! and they stuck some crappy label over the PSU details, scratched it off and said 250W. BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	^ agreed it's prolly one way to ensure a short pc life by constantly loading a low power PSU, Bastards :(

	pc manufactures such as time, emachines, advent, some others aswell, purposly put in low-powered PSU's so they dont last as long & then you end up buying yet another PC in probs around 2 years time, its how they keep you coming back.

	turn it off and back on again imo

	Fitted a dual-fan 450W PSU and PC is much better! voltages are stable and noise has gone!

	yah its working much better now but noise persists. will pick up a good 450w PSU tomoz, pref one with 2 fans since i have an inlet above PSU slot

	It sucks air thru the heatsink and out, so you should be able to feel it with the side off. Try a new PSU, they're not expensive.

	well swapped it over and fan speed was oscillating A LOT, and temp was going up rapidly so i switched it off and put it back. :lol:

	might sound dumb, but will a new PSU do the trick?

	the high pitched sound your hearing are probably the smoothing capacitors going faulty in the switch mode power supply mate :)

	250w is well low need around 400 or somethin my old one wasnt powerful enough either i can feel my fan when the case ifoff am sure

	Have had a real bad problem for ages with PC, under load, the CPU has a really really high pitched sound that gives me a migraine after 5 minutes. I think the problem is the PSU, since it says 250W max on it. System is AMD Athlon 2200XP with 512MB ram and Geforce 4 Ti4800. Its no way near powerful enough is it :boggle: also, should the CPU fan over the heatsink blow air at my hand with case off, or should it be blowing over the CPU?
