Alienware Area 51 r2 - buzzing noise while GPU under load
I received 2 alieanware area 51 r2's from the Dell outlet this week and both have the same problem - a loud buzzing noise coming from the power supply when under load. I have swapped in different cards and the more powerful the card the louder the noise (i.e. a 1080 GTX TI is louder than the GTX 1070 they shipped with). I am also getting blue screens with error code WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR. Both machines also will fail to boot when attempting to use the overclock 1 setting in the bios. Here is a quick video I posted with the problem - my concern is both machines have the exact same issue (the buzzing start at 11 seconds - I am using firestrike but the noise occurs while gaming as well):

You should probably repost this in the Alienware Club forum where the AW experts hang out.
Be sure to mention the version of Windows in your post over there.

You may have to log in again over there even if you're already logged in here, but you can use the same user name and password that you use here.
