Computer Voltage Regulator

[joseph0829]

I want to ask why i heard some disturbing noise on my computer voltage regulator... its brand is GIANT POWER G-500LC.. please help does this means that my computer voltage regulator is merely dead? or what?

please help!

It's known as a power supply...and judging by the brand name it sounds like a low budget Chinese knockoff...
How old is it and what type of machine is this in ? ?

Any noise from those units is not a good sign at all and you risk further damage the more you use it.

I agree with Patio.  A noisy power supply is trouble in the making.  It can ruin any component in the computer.  Replace it very soon.  It could be just a bearing in the fan but why take the chance?
