Buzzing Graphics Card

Hello,

I have a custum built PC, and for some strange reason, whenever I'm playing a full screen game the graphics card or something inside the computer makes a weird buzzing noise. I also have frequent random BSOD's as well. I have no clue how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Check your fans. They could be brushing up against a wire.

Check to make sure your case's side panel is screwed in tight. Sometimes it can vibrate when fans spin up.

Also make sure your case fans are screwed down tight.

If that doesn't fix it, the next time you hear it, take a paper towel tube, put it up to your ear, and see if you can pinpoint where the noise is coming from
