First thing I thought is maybe the fan is hitting something lighty, but yeh I don't think thats it, but your right it doesnt sound too good.

That sounds like the fan may have come loose. Try opening up your PSU and tightening the fan a little. My rear case fan did that untill i tightened the actual fan itself.

I should become a computer tech! /biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Keeping in mind computer techs charge amazing amounts of money for amazingly small amounts of work. Most places have a minimum charge of half hours work for anything that needs to be fixed, and most places around here charging about $90/h to fix things. So you just earnt yourself $45 /biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />.
