PSU Noise??

My 2.66ghz MacPro (2007)

i on occasion hear a whincing noise coming from the top rear of the machine. sounds like almost like hdd spin a very kind of whispery spin (not the seeking sound) almost more a spinning sound similar to a case fan.

im just alittle nervous because my surge protector was accidentally shut off a few weeks ago while my system was on and i ran Hardware tests to test any of the hardware and it has remained up and running since then. im wondering if this a normal sound, its not a consistant noise/sound but i hear it ever so often.


any info/advice would be appreciated! thanks!

the noise has seldomly returned again after having a grey screen that has the Please Press and Hold Power button to shut down after i had to force shut down my system becaus ei was fast user switching and one account froze, im wondering how har dis it to replace the PSU in a macpro and how can i determine any sort of fault with it other than the noise.

im really concerned, iam covered under applecare but who knows the next one wont be bad?
