now try unplugging the VGA card and power up the PC see if the hum goes away,
it could be a faulty PSU or shorting VGA card causing the PSU to hum
and if possible try another spare video card

EDIT: there should be a "no videocard Beep code" check the manual for the beep sequence on a "no video card" scenario

I think you just got a factory defect one, its really a normal scenario for any PC part to be defective:( where did you bought the card? i think you can RMA it to them and ask for replacement

maybe try adding some back-up fans to eliminate the overheating scenario?
or if you want a little colder, refrigerate everything to avoid future heating problems?:laugh:
no just kidding:roll:

ya but the humming sound makes me think its shorting voltage regulator on the VGA card itself, then when you remove it, it`s completely silent that`s why i suggest if you could test it on another rig to double check if the 2nd rig will hum, then definately its the VGA card causing the PSU and other components to hum:eek:

ya you can do that too, but like you said, the beeping sequence is just normal so:ohwell:
the memory is detecting, the CPU is detecting PSU run test OK,

the questionable part is the VGA card, and the humming if its installed:eek:
its just my opinion bro, but i may be wrong:ohwell:

there`s also one way to detect it, using multimeter on the 12V side on the PSU, and see if its dropping the voltage due to the suspected partial short, and test it without the VGA card and see if its normal 12.XX something:eek:
