Since this is a new computer I am disinclined to blame dust for unbalanced fans, etc. I would disable, if it is enabled, the AMD Cool 'n Quiet feature, and set the fan at different speeds to see if you can cause the the sound to reappear. This should be available in the CMOS, or what some people call the BIOS. You'll need to enter the Setup at boot to do that.

If you have the ATI Catalyst Suite installed, you should, you can vary the fan speed as well to see if it's the culprit.

Finally, you may have a bad fan in the case.

On the other hand, it may be a hard drive, as well.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
