    Default My m17x is making a loud buzzing sound as I type this.

    It's making a really loud buzzing sound from the GPU and releasing cool air.

    Wat do.

    Pretty loud, sounds like a chainsaw. And it was releasing cool air from the bottom. It stopped 5 minutes later.

    Did you have the system tilted at an angle? Could have been the fan. If it happens regularly, the fans may need to be reseated.

    there might have been a bug inside when the fan went off lol... my M17x did had a loud buzzing sound once. I restarted and it was gone. I never figured out what went wrong. but hey, use that warranty.
