December 30, 200916 yr I have a fairly decent pc imo....NVIDIA 9400 gt4gb of RAMAMD Athlon Duel Core processor 5200+ 2.7GHz500w PSU Everytime i open runescape my computer sounds like its going to blow up, its realy bad. Im not extremly computer literate, but i do know that the graphics card draws power from the PSU. From my understanding i have a half decent graphics card so it should be able to run it fine :S. Is it my pile of **** PSU? Tbh i have no idea, hoping someone can help. Thanks.
December 30, 200916 yr Woah, you have nearly exactly the same specs as me, that's weird. I can run RSHD at max setting fine with it, so you should too. Righto, first thing to do is make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card and motherboard chipset. ~ W ~
December 30, 200916 yr Author Im pretty sure they are up to date.... Is it worth buying a silent PSU? How many watts would i need?
December 30, 200916 yr Your card uses around 30ish watts. Not a problem with your PSU unless it's components has degraded unusually fast. I assume you're meaning you hear a fan winding up, my guess is the CPU fan. I wouldn't bother looking into changing your cpu cooling unless the sound makes you want to nuke it.

December 30, 200916 yr Author I assure you its not the cpu fan i have replaced that before and even removed it for a few seconds and the noise is still there, im betting the psu fan is faulty then :/ . anyone guide me to a nice 500+ watt psu? and willing to spend like £40-50
December 30, 200916 yr Put your ear near to the psu and check if it's the one producing sound. Or if you have a case fan, it could be that or it could be the graphic card fan.Don't spend money until you know what the problem is. And 500w isn't needed for you system, max usage would be around 150w. Run a stress test of the gpu and then one of the cpu, so you can exclude both. Since you seem so adamant about the psu, got a link to it's product page?

December 30, 200916 yr Yeah, looks like it's the heat making the fan go up in speed, you should check if there's a lot of dust in them.
