Already posted on the forums, hoping for some help from you guys!:
I have been using the Vantage for a couple of weeks now and looked inside my case today to find that one of the screws that screws onto the motherboard had sprung out! As you can see in the picture, the plastic bit landed in the middle of my GPU and the metal spring sat across loads of solder joints for at least a week (pic was taken for my case mod log a week ago and I didn't notice it)- somehow it did not cause any damage but I was extremely lucky. I still can't find the screw! Could you advise me as to what could have caused this problem?
Second, about a week ago the system has started to make strange watery noises, a kind of swashy sound like running water. It occurs about once an hour, although I can't see any ill effects of it, it is worrying and has got me a bit paranoid! Is this a cause of concern or is it to be expected. And to finish with a quickie, is there any way to stop the beeping noise that occurs when I start my system up that lasts for about a minute- it is extremely annoying!
To be honest, I'm not that impressed to have these problems, especially like the first one, on a £114 piece of kit after a few weeks. The pic:
