Re: Samsung SP1604N - making strange noise but passes diagnostic (hutil) test.

I heard the whining noise when I was using the computer, and when it
was idle.

I will run the SMART self test and post here when done.

Here's the data I got from the Samsung test (it took about 1hr, I took
the full option on the surface scan) :
