Machine Making Noises
Hi,
I recently updgraded my machine and installed a new HD. The new HD is an 80 GB WD drive set as primary. I placed my old 40 GB drive as slave.
The machine is now making a low humming or buzzing sound. Its not continuous but a pulsating tone.
I am wondering what is causing this? I have a floppy drive, 2 CD-Rom Drives (one is a burner) and 2 HD off a 250 WATT power supply.
Could the power supply be making the noise? I diconnected the old drive and the noise stopped, but the drive never made the noise before.
Any ideas?

It could be just the drive vibrating against the case. Put a few more screws in it.

yeah make sure you have all your screws in snug also i added a second HDD to my computer its a rather small case and things get cramped , i had a noice after i installed my HDD it was a wire rubbing againts the fan, could be something as simple as that.
Yeah it could be. Can you tell where sound is coming from?
