The only way to find out is to take the top off and stop each fan with your hand for a split second, that is not possible with the power supply. |

Is this random after the computer has been powered up for a long time? Is it when you power up the computer but then it fades out or goes away after a few minutes? Is it only when your CD/DVD-ROM drive is spinning a disc? Is it only when the hard drive LED on the front of the case is flashing? |

Hold a plastic drinking straw or other similar non-conductive material
inserted in the case power supply grill for an inch or so then power on the system. If no noise, remove it and see if the noise comes on. This will confirm or eliminate the power supply fan.
