Hello all,
Well, I'm having a weird problem, my computer is stable, no crashes etc.. But, rarely, I will hear what sounds like static electricity comming from the tower (to be more specific, it is an Antec 900, and the sound comes from the bottom fan area, which is also where the hard drive is) I see no static or sparks or arcing of any kind, I've checked the wireing and I've cleaned out all dust from the fan (first thought was maybe the fan was hiting something creating a similar sound to static) The case isn't on carpet or anything it can conduct static from ( lifted about 2 inches from the ground on a wooden desk ). I am completely dumbfounded by this, I have no idea what it could be. Could the fan itself have a short or something? :S I'm pretty sure the sound isn't from the hardrive, only idea is it is related to the stock LED fan that came with the case.. And the sound does not come at certain times, it's random and rare, last time I heard it was months ago (back in october). I'm not overly worried about it, but would like to find out what the problem is. Sorry for all the text.
Thank you for any ideas and/or help in the matter,
Momo-chan
