If I turn it off and back on 3 or 4 times, the whine goes away and the computer boots. The whine is coming from the PC Speaker. I should know better and get a new one, but do I run the risk of damaging my components by using it? If the plug stays in the computer will turn back on. post:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.5868 Mon, 15 Mar 2004 17:49:34 -0800 Keyser Soze powersupply powercord antec noise whine speaker http://ask.metafilter.com/5868/Whiny-Power-Supply#122836 Yes. Any PSU acting weirdly is a menace -- every valuable part of your box is attached to it in one way or another. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.5868-122836 Mon, 15 Mar 2004 20:02:35 -0800 majick
