Hello, I have a sligh tproblem with my built computer - somthing inside of it is rattling when I hav ea lot of windows open, or doing somthing that ussually requires some CPU power, like running Steam or halo, but it stops rattling when I am doin gnothing, or the fans and such speed up when I play a High level game (such as Half Life 2 and Portal).


I checked all of my fans, of which none are blocked in any way, also, my computer runs a bit hotter with my sides one, although it gets louder with th efan noise, it stops rattling.

I did notice it started rattling when I put an Apple 24x CD Rom in my computer. Maybe its rattling?

Idk why, but it I can hear it better if I look straight at the tiny space between the Apple CDROm and my PSU.
