Snapshot Report post Posted June 19, 2019 That certainly is a mystery. PSU's are notorious for going bad and causing problems on some computers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to replace two over the years. This HP is a mini-tower, so there's not a lot of room to work inside it. And thankfully I had the right size torque driver for all the screws, which is what they used instead of Phillips heads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted June 19, 2019 Did you try shutting it down and restarting it? Sorry... that’s the only computer fix I know! lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted June 20, 2019 These types of issues always spark my internal detective. LoL. Most computer motherboards or maybe the sound card will have a little micro speaker that allows you to hear the beeps or warnings used by bios, or software. Not sure what model your's is, but I would check for a speaker. The big mystery, is how is an electrical component making noise without a power source? Poltergeist?

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted June 20, 2019 I have no pc at home or internet, other than my phone. However, while at work I just call IT and they send a skinny jean wearing kid over. Usually drinking some form of energy drink. So like Home Depot and Jesus and Juan....... get to Best Buy early and pick up a Kyle or skylar! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted June 20, 2019 Hmmm. HP tech. support might know or at least they might be able to let you know if it's a warranty item if you need to get it professionally fixed. Good luck! Let us know how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I set it up initially without any speakers, and the actual computer never made a sound. So I don't think it has an internal speaker. With the speakers in my current monitor muted it still doesn't beep, just the infernal buzzing. And it's still ongoing today. I quit yesterday before pulling the CPU fan. Going to try that later. Also will try using a wooden dowel to isolate where the buzz is mostly concentrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps so, but since it's out of warranty, they will want to get paid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThomC Report post Posted June 20, 2019 Take it out to your car, is the noise still in your office? If not did the noise move to your car? If so, then drive to a computer repair shop and leave it there, also it probably needs a good checkup for bugs etc. 😏 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
