Buzzing Noise

The buzzing seems to have stopped after I've let the computer run. All my data is safe. I'm running the Seagate tests right now, and it's fine so far. Thanks Caravel, I'll try that as soon as I can.

This could point to it being the cradle, as those symptoms point to a loose fitting object ceasing to vibrate as it heats up and expands to fill the "gaps". Heat sinks often do this also, are you certain it's the HDD and not a heat sink?

That's possible, as this computer is really quite cool most of the time, due mainly to the location of it. It's possible it is the heatsink, but I don't know if the sound was coming from there. It's gone now, but I'll check if it comes back.

Here's system temperatures:

System: 28C
CPU: 37C
GPU: 51C
