You found what it was but not to upset you, why wasn't this fan replaced?
This is probably the worst luck anyone could have entering the PC gaming world. Since the start, I've been having so many random problems that make no sense. I'm just going to try and list the current ones.
-Horrible, HORRIBLE static (buzzing/popping) in monitor (HP Envy 34c) speakers.
--It's not a ground loop (I tried plugging into different outlets)
--It's not a monitor problem (I tried it w/ a different computer)
--It's not a shielding problem (My headphones work fine... most of the time and I don't live near any interference. Also the other computer worked fine)
--It's not a driver problem (I uninstalled and restarted, which automatically reinstalls them, updated them, and manually reinstalled them)
--I use onboard audio (Gigabyte G1 Gaming 6 z170x)
--Since I'm using DisplayPort audio through my GPU, the monitor doesn't show up as an audio device in the troubleshooter.
--Only happens when I'm playing audio.
-Smaller static in all other devices, except for my headphones (Steelseries Arctis 7) which have a wireless receiver that runs through a USB DAC-up port.
--Very rarely there is static, (For my headphones) but that goes away very quickly.
-Every so often my monitor goes black and the only way to fix that is to restart my PC.
--I lose audio too.
-After I updated my M.I.T. BIOS through Q-Flash, the static in the monitor-which had had static like all the other devices-got a much worse static that was more like a buzzing sound.
--Only happens when I'm playing audio.
-PSU (Corsair CX550) makes an odd, loud buzzing sound sometimes, like a hard drive, but much, much louder.
--Been less and less frequent.
--Stopping the fan blades with a screwdriver or something else and letting them go again stops the sound.
-NZXT CAM won't start after I close it.
--Opens on startup.
--Only way to open it again is to go to the arrow that shows app running in the background and click on it there.
-Monitor speakers had no static after BIOS update, but after one restart they started having the static problems above.
-A totally new monitor has some sort of distortion on four pixels grouped together.
--Looks like the distortion you get when water's on your phone or laptop screen.
-My keyboard (G. Skill Ripjaws KM780 RGB) software just deleted all of my lighting and macros profiles.
--After BIOS update.
That's all the current ones. There have been way more problems that have been fixed in the past. A few questions:
-Is this normal?
-Could all of this be caused by one source?
-Why PC god? WHY?
Also a few notes:
-It's not a virus problem.
I think that's it. Thank you for any help in advance.
