I'm getting a loud, alarm type sound from my computer.

I had disconnected it to move it, plugged it back in and then sound appeared.

I fired up the computer off and on, still emitted the sound.

I did some reading online and found that it is likely a powersupply unit problem, so I disconnected the PSU from everything, plugged it into the wall and switched on the power; no noise.

I then connected it only to the mother board, and bam, the sound. I figured this was because the mobo was drawing power and that that was where the problem was happening.

So today, I went and got a new PSU, 85 bucks later, I'm home have it all installed fire it up, and bam, hit with this annoying alarm sound again.

Anyone know what's going on inside my computer? It's not a whir or a revving sound, it's an alarm like pulse, like something no fan of that size could reproduce.

Help please.
