Now when you turn your machine on, it buzzes coz the power supply is only giving it 9v (coz that's what the power supply knows) while the HD is requiring 12v due to overuse. This applies not just do HD, mostly fans etc..

This happens to many devices, not just computers as well.

I hope I made a nice fact.

EDIT: Buzzing while capturing, you need more power.
So how long do I turn my pc off for to reset the power? It was off for a good 20 minutes while I installed the new hardware.

And you would think a 430 watt power supply would be able to handle the draw, wouldn't you?

It doesn't buzz audibly. There is only buzz in the audio track of stuff I have captured through firewire.
