Re: Huuummmmmmmmmm on Boot

There are no moving parts in a CPU. The moving parts inside a computer are the ventilation fans and the drives. But a hum can also come from your speakers due to electrical interference or even a loose connection.

When I boot my desktop with WinXP Home, there is a sort of hum or vibration sound that starts at power on and stops after everything is finished booting. I have booted with case open and it doesn't seem to be a hard drive. I wonder if it could be the CPU vibrating in it's socket? Anyway, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, jimbo
