    Trying to pinpoint the problem with my gaming pc

    Ever since i bought my pc it has been underperforming massively and it’s extremely frustrating and im trying to figure out what might be causing it. I have a RX 580 sapphire, i7 2600k cpu @ 3.40ghz, 16gb ram, 500w psu and a standard intel motherboard. This pc can’t even run fortnite and i wish i was joking, i think i have pinpointed the problem but i might be wrong. Basically even when my computer is sat on the desktop there’s always a loud buzzing coming from inside the psu, i’m not sure if this is normal for a psu to be loud and screeching like this and it gets way worse when i attempt to run a game, even moving my mouse curser round the homescreen makes it buzz. At first i thought the reason for it underperforming might be the heat so i added a few extra fans and my temps are sat at a good number and still the issue stayed. A typical example of when im running a game is the screen would go black but not fully turn off and i’ll hear a buzz projected into my headphones until i have to completely shut the pc off. I’d appreciate any help or opinions thank you.

      Hi jconniff, Welcome to PCHF!

      Do you have another power supply of the same wattage that you can use to test the system with? Are you overclocking any components? When did this issue start occurring?

      Did you make any hardware changes recently to the system?
