    Hello, my PC makes a VERY loud noise when start up after being switch off for some time. It then goes away after about 3-5 minutes.

    • It doesn’t happen if I turn my PC off and on again – only if I leave it off for some amount of time.
    • The noise seems to be coming from the PSU
    • It is a new build and the cables are very well managed with nothing touching a fan and very clean
    • My PSU is a Corsair TX650, when I had the noise I restarted and this message came up: “Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. ASUS anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit / Press F1 to run SETUP.”
    • I bought all the parts from Scan in April this year.


    What shall I do? Is the PSU faulty? Or could the ASUS anti-surge be causing the fan in the PSU to go in overdrive?

    What kind of noise is it? Buzzing or a loud fan?

    If you can get hold of another PSU to test it with then that would be a good start to help isolate the exact issue.

    Asus anti surge is protecting your computer

    I think the psu may be dodgy

    Yup. Bad PSU. I guess he meant electrical buzzing rather than fan noise.
