****FIXED!***** NO MORE HELP NEEDED, THANKS FOR THE INPUT! I basically completely disassembled the PSU unit and then reassembled it as if I were putting in a new one and it all worked. THE INITIAL PROBLEM: After a power surge a few months ago, I took my PC to CompUSA to get it “fixed”, I paid $160 to take it home to this. As soon as I turn it on it makes this ridiculously loud noise (seriously, this video doesn’t do the sound justice). I, at first, assumed it was just the fan and tried adjusting its wires to no avail, then I turned it on and checked for loose wires and found the largest bundle of wires that connect to the motherboard gave me a little zap. The PC DOES turn on and function though, despite this eardrum-pounding racket. I really don’t want to take it back to CompUSA again and be robbed, AGAIN (They said it was fixed and working with them, so I clearly broke it by turning it on… right), so any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. ***I’m posting this video here to post on some PC help forums, I’ll probably take it down after I solve the problem, unless other people have it, too.***
