Hi guys, first of all I would like to say that I have some knowledge of computers but I do not know the advanced stuff.
In the last couple of days I have noticed that my computer has been making an odd low pitched whirring sound on startup and when playing games (such as Dying Light). I have tried to track the noise and I believe it is either coming from my power supply or my graphics card (possible a nearby fan). It is irritating and very noticeable and I don't want it causing further damage.
In addition to this, I have experienced some slow play on FIFA 15 singleplayer which has never happened before (however this may be down to a recent update or EA messing up again) and I am wondering if these two things are linked. I have not had a decrease in performance when playing Dying Light though.
By the way I have had my PC for about a year now and have never heard this noise before and it is happening regularly.
Thanks in advance, Joe.
