Electrical buzzing sound while playing games

Hi,

So far, my x15E has been outstanding. Plays any game I install, and runs them all on max settings with a fair amount of ease. Just a quick question--I only started noticing that when I play games, I get a soft electrical sounding buzz coming from the left side of my laptop, near the CPU and above where the battery is (already tried removing the battery, and nothing changed). When I put my ear up to the bottom, the source seems to be right on my CPU. This only happens when playing a game. While idling or surfing the internet or listening to music, it's completely quiet, but only when the PC starts using it's GPU (675M) does it begin to buzz. I tried an experiment and got it to stop for like a millisecond. I plugged my mouse into the USB 3 on the left side of the laptop, and right when I clicked it in, it stopped for a second (I guess because it had process for a second that something was being plugged in), giving me the theory that's it's electrical and not something else. Is this normal... should I be worried... is there anything I can do?

ALSO (one more stupid question), I dled a beta for Hawken, which then had me reboot my comp. Upon rebooting, it turned to an AMD Processor Driver screen, asking me if I would accept the terms and conditions. I said "no" because I don't need an AMD driver for an Intel i7, haha. Have no idea why the heck it even downloaded this in the first place, but... This couldn't screw anything up, could it?

Thanks!

If it helps any, it kinda sounds like a (very soft) fluorescent light bulb sound. I don't know... maybe there is just some dust or cat hair in the fan area, but wouldn't it make the sound all the time, not just when I game? Maybe it's because it's using a lot more power and then the fans speed up and it's creating that sound. Hopefully DS will know what I should do, haha :)

Problem solved. I opened up my laptop and thoroughly cleaned the fans and vents, tightened up a few semi-not tight screws. Had no effect on the buzz. I then tried to run a game with just the battery, and the buzz was gone. I plugged my comp in mid-game and the buzz reappeared. I guess this is just how it is. There is an unavoidable electronic sound when running games while plugged in. Now, this electronic noise might not even be noticed by most... I just randomly noticed it when my room was really quiet, and the game volume was pretty much nonexistent. This really isn't an issue, I just wanted to make sure nothing was amiss with my comp.

Game on!
