Hello, I'm new to this forum, and I have some questions to ask, and a little back story to tell. Some of this wont make sense unless you read the whole thing so grab a beverage and read on!
Okay, so my story of unfortunate events begins in early 2013. I had first bought a pre-built computer from CyberpowerPC and to say the least it was complete crap. At the end of 2013 towards X-Mas I asked for a list of computer parts, and X-Mas came around along with the parts. I'm pretty well educated on computers and the functions of them, so building computers isn't a challenge at all for me. (Except for cable management ) Anyways, I had put together all of my computer components and everything was riding smooth up until I realized that my graphics card performance was lower then it should have been, so there was the first RMA. I had RMA'd it, and they sent a refurbished/replacement card which then had another problem, that problem being Coil Whine. I didn't really care about it for the first few weeks, then it began to get on my nerves extremely bad, so I setup an RMA process but I was too lazy to send it in because I would be bored without playing games with my friends, and etc..
Time passes, I still have the Coil Whine'n graphics card and I decide I want a new case to complete my computers looks. I go out and buy a new case, I receive the new case, and the case is damaged, scratched up, paint was chipped, and the grill mesh was bent, although I didn't really notice all of these fine details until I began placing my components inside of the computer case. After I had realized that the computer case was damaged, I had to then RMA that case too! Upon RMA'ing that case I had left my Motherboards I/O Shield still in tact, where I have no clue if I'm going to be getting it back or not even though I notified Newegg about it. Anyways, I was bored so I decided to put the components I had inside of my older case, and the motherboard without the I/O Shield as well, and then I noticed yet ANOTHER problem! The power supply had this really annoying high-pitched sounding screech that would continuously produce sound at idle, and load. The pitch doesn't really raise or change, it's just this annoying continuous sound that will seem to break up for a few seconds, maybe 2-3 seconds, and then continue on again. I found if I unplugged the DVI cable from the graphics card that the sound stopped for 2-3 seconds as well. I'm now thinking that my power supply now also has coil whine, which means both my graphics card and my power supply have sound issues, which really bugs me because I have sensitive hearing to these types of things.
I thought it couldn't get any worse, but oh wait it does, my CPU Fan bearings are shot, and they make this really loud noise when running. Everything in my computer seems like it's starting to fail, and the parts are handled perfectly normal by myself, and have only been used for less then a year so far. Why all this is happening now is beyond my knowledge, maybe it had always been there and I'm just now picking up on some of the finer details, I honestly don't know. I feel like when I fix something, something else breaks. It's just these ongoing events. I really, really, love computers and technology but with all of these bad experiences I'm really getting fed up and annoyed with them all. I'm going to have to RMA my power supply, and my graphics card, then buy a new CPU cooler, all of the shipping/prices are really starting to add up and I'm getting sick and tired of it. Does anyone know why these problems are happening? For only being 15 years of age, all of these funds are really taking an impact on me hard. All I want to do is have a fully-functional computer like all of these people on YouTube do, but no. My luck is not one of the Irish, it's the exact opposite. I feel like just giving up and finding a new hobby but I have too much time invested into all of this that it would be hard to just give it up. What do you guys/girls think I should do...
