whatever you do dont buy antec, I've had two of theirs fail on me. meanwhile the cheapo no name psu that came free with my $20 case is running strong :lol:

although, I have a desk lamp plugged into the same power strip and occasionally when i turn the lamp off the computer shuts off :scratch: :wtf:

So I didn't read that part... Sounds like a short. Try a different surge protector, then a different lamp, and see if it's the PSU or not. Could be a fire hazard yo.

I used the same Antec PSU with 3 machines over the course of about 7 years... and I got it used. It still works, but when I built my most recent machine, the case I bought came with a PSU... :idk:

That being said, take that bitch out, blow it out real good, and if it still squeals give it a couple solid knocks with a hammer... seriously, I've had that work before.:cheers:

blew it out, made sure the 2 fans in it wasnt making the noise. They aint, ,its just ready to blow its wad. I found one online around $30 - 40, 600 watt. its just waitin a few days for it. I hate using a laptop lol i much rather use a desktop. a Laptop is for lazing around in the bed, or when away from home.

P.S. I have knocked the crap out of it, it doesnt phase it.
