Recently I assembled a gaming PC and installed games such as GTA V, Assassin's Creed Unity etc. I mostly play GTA V and my graphics settings are set to high. But after few minutes into gaming a very loud grinding noise begins to be heard, low at first and gradually increasing to a very, I repeat very loud and irritating sound.
It happens only when I am gaming and some minutes after quitting the game the noise fades and totally disappears!!
The sound is similar to a video I found in a thread in this very same site (

).
My PC Specs are
Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics 3.6Ghz
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
RAM: 16 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB
SMPS: Antec Atom V550
So when the noise got really irritating, I opened the cabinet and at first I thought it was the Processor fan Since that fan was close to the SMPS fan. Later I confirmed it was the Power Supply fan that was making the grinding noise.

- No wires are getting in the way of the rotation as the sound is only when the CPU requires heavy load such as gaming. ( I have only experienced this problem at that time.
- Is it a hardware complaint?? as the whole rig is only 2 or 3 weeks old max.
- Is there a way to fix the issue without having to replace the SMPS, although the retailer told me there is 3 years warranty for all parts, still just out of curiosity is there any way to fix this ourselves??
- And the most IMPORTANT thing I have concern is the display. I have a 40 inch LED TV connected through HDMI as the display. Is it the cause of the problem?
