    Hey, i just got my Compaq CQ50z in the mail today, as soon as i powered it on, i get this annoying buzzing sound that seems to be coming from the processor(AMD) or the video card (Nvidia 8200m) what can i do to fix it before i send it back to Compaq?

    Previously I owned a V5000 (V5323) which also has this buzzing sound thingy...

    Now I'm on CQ50-105AU and the buzzing sound coming from the left side of the Notebook seems to come and go....

    Why Compaq always has this buzz? Does the HP counterparts also shares the same problem...

    Sometimes the buzzing is too annoying....

    i get the buzzing also from my compaq cq50-215nr its quite annoying, its from the proccessor i think, but it calms down when its fully charged for me, but when its charging id rather not charge it at all due to the batter/charger gets really hot and loud

    EDIT: its charing right now, and its screaming lol
