    Buzzing PSU

    My PSU is generating a periodic buzzing noise with varying volume levels. It's intermitent, and I might not hear it for a few days. However, once it starts, I have to shutdown and turn the PSU switch off to make it stop. This isn't a fan vibration, and seems to be a vibration from the...
