Hello,
Last month I changed my power supply because my old one was semi-broken for about 6 months. Let me explain: whenever I played heavy games, I got a blue screen, and strange noises came from the fan when the computer started up. Anyway, after replacing it with a new power supply, everything worked smoothly for a month—until today.
When I started the computer, I heard the same strange sound again. It seemed like the fan was touching on something inside it was causing the issue. I’m not sure if it’s related to the motor. I removed the power supply from the case and cleaned it as much as I could with a hair dryer, but I didn’t completely disassemble it since that could be dangerous.
I also made a sound recording for you to listen to. As you can hear in the recording, the fan works unstably. This was the same issue I experienced with my old power supply. I’m unsure if the problem could be related to the socket, but I already tried changing the socket and the power cord—yet the problem persists.
