    Crackling sound coming from back of PC near power supply

    it could be cutting into wires thanks f ok thanks for all the help Rusty I really appreciate it. Now I have a much better idea on what’s causing it, and can get it looked at. I’ll have my friend look at the HDD and PSU fan. Take care,

    Crackling sound coming from back of PC near power supply

    Ok thanks again! Yeah I’m not comfortable taking it apart so I’ll get a friend to do it. As for the fan I believe it could be the PSU fan.

    Crackling sound coming from back of PC near power supply

    Hey Rusty thanks for the reply! As for the video I think this website only allows pictures to be uploaded not videos. The power cord is a good suggestion, when I brought it I had my power cord still plugged in so most likely they just used mine. I'll try it out. HDD failure was what I was...

    Crackling sound coming from back of PC near power supply

    For awhile now my PC will make a crackling sound at random. It does it usually when I’m running a more high end game. It lasts for a few minutes then stops. I haven’t had any sort of performance drop or anything along those lines since the crackling started. I am fairly new to PCs so I don’t...
