No need to blush - I keep a wooden popsicle stick handy for just such things. But still, it means the bearings are going bad in the PSU fan and I think you need to start there. PSU fans can be replaced, but since there are deadly voltages inside a PSU, that should be left up to a qualified technician. Once you add the cost of a new fan, plus labor, you probably should just consider getting a new power supply anyway. Judging from your other HW symptoms, your current supply may be having other problems, perhaps caused by overheating due a failing fan. A bad supply can take out everything plugged into it. Not worth the risk to keep using that supply, at least not without getting it properly tested. See my canned text below in choosing a new supply.Hey pls..anyone help me over this....The cooling fan which cools the box where the power plug goes for the cpu doesn't start when i start the computer sometimes.I usually start it up by rotating it using a pencil
