Problem with motherboard's buzz
Hi,
I have a problem with the buzz of the motherboard. Sometimes it begins to ring continuously when I turn on the computer. The strange fact is that it stops ringing only if I put down the computer on the ground, in horizontal position (it is a mini tower), then I turn on it again. Can you help me? Thank you very much, excuse me for my english, I am italian. |

Thank you very much, excuse me for my english, I am italian. It could be a fan or possibly a part of the case that is vibrating. Set the system back on the desk and while it's buzzing, see if (using your hands) you can apply pressure to sides of the case and back the noise stop or change. If this has no effect then open the case, again pressing on areas of the case and using something soft to stop the fan blades, to see if noise stops. You could instead unplug the fans one at a time, and use a straw or short piece of hose held to your ear to direct towards different areas of the case, seeking the source of noise. Most often the rattling of a case is either the front bay covers, the whole bezel virbrating due to looseness against the metal framework behind it, or the hard drive bay against the front wall of the case. Somtimes (barely) bending metal helps. Other times some foam tape will help. The front bezel may have additional screw mounting holes that aren't being used yet. If it's a sleeve-bearing fan you may be able to put a drop of heavy oil in the bearing. |

Yes,this works for me.Pressing on the side cover gets rid of all noises generated by resonating (vibrating) side panels. But fans can make strange noises too. Good luck! |
