    i have a toshiba x205 with an 8700mgt and its been OC'd at 720/1630/920 for like a month with no problems, then i didn't touch this laptop for about 2 weeks and when i booted it up and started playing cod4 just yesterday, after about 5 minutes or less of gameplay i start hearing a light buzzing noise or "humming" that sounds like its coming from near where the touchpad is on my laptop. i got really scared so i hopped off of cod4 and the noise immediately stopped. what could this be and what should i do? im thinking its the fan but i know what the fan sounds like and it never made a noise anything like this before.

    any help would be appreciated. thank you.

    If its a fan it will have a vent on the underside of where your hearing the noise.
    That is quite strange
