PC arrived last week and for 1 day the PSU was ok. From day 2 onwards it began to crackle, getting louder the more the CPU was stressed.
PSU replaced, and for the first few minutes it seemed fine. However with my ear near the back of the PSU I could hear a faint crackle, so loaded up the CPU, and it began to crackle quite loudly just like the previous one.
Chris.

Also I have disk errors on this machine, nothing is coming up at anytime, but its logged in the system log events
1: ftdisk ..... error
Configuring the Page file for crash dump failed. Make sure there is a page file on the boot partition and that is large enough to contain all physical memory.
................................................................................
theres a page file on c: everything seems to work fine however it logs this every boot.
2:Warning ....disk
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation.
Explanation
An input/output (I/O) request to a memory-mapped file failed and the operation was retried.
User Action
If these events are logged regularly on a primary system drive, replace the device. Otherwise, no user action is required.
...................................................................................
its saying replace the hardrive. good job I have a replacement coming this week, however I'm not holding my breath, that this issues won't be on the new unit.

SO it arrives i cant wait. I boot it up all seems ok. Not too quiet but it will do. I then run 3dmark06. A crackle from the psu starts. I reboot. Its still there. Ive put up for it for a while but now im getting fed up with the noise when ever it is under load. Can i fix it? I read somewhere someone poked theirs adn the crackle stopped?! Is something lose? People have had theirs replaced and the crackle is in the replacement also.
Please help,information links would be very helpful Thanks in advanced , Scotty.M
