    Hi all iv just noticed that when my laptop turns off my power brick makes a very loud buzzing noise, also when I try and use my x9000 cpu in my laptop it lags a lot.

    Is this because I have a faulty power brick?

    Any AC adapter making a buzzing noise means it is defective, replace it ASAP.
