guys I am having a problem with a very noisy Power Supply. What could be the course of that? First there was no such problem, it started it recently. Its ATX 250watts.
It depends, it may be a faulty fan, or the PSU may just be full of dust. If you replace it, make sure you buy a quality unit, not just any old power supply.
2 options is to replace the psu especially as it is a 250 watt version or lubricate the fan. which option do you want to try as i can tell you how to lubricate it?
yes man I have no other option besides lubricating it, can you provide help on how to lubricate the fan. Thanx in advance
need a philips screwdriver or slot screwdriver if don't have a philips. 3in1 oil or light machine oil, electrical tape & kleenex. let me know when ready.
sometimes noises appear to be from the computer when in fact they are from the POWER (surge protector) BAR Before doing a whole bunch of stuff check the power bars I dont know what its called when it does that but there is a know name for it I had that once and thought it was from the monitor for the longest time let us know the results & good luck
The power brick for one of my external hard drives likes to make a whistle from time to time, what sort of noise does it make? If it's a loud grinding noise, or a relatively low smooth noise, it's probably to do with the fan. If it's a high pitched whining noise, it's probably the electronics.
