Noise from psu when scrolling in IE6 with mousewheel

I just upgraded my cpu (3200+ to 3700+) and put in a new Gainward 7800GS+ AGP to replace my failed 6600GT. Install of both went fine but then I noticed that scrolling scroll bars in Internet Explorer 6 using the scroll wheel on the mouse causes (literally) a repetitive squeak from the psu - an FSP 600watt. It only does this on the IE scroll bars. If I use the mouse wheel in games etc. I get no squeak from the psu. Any ideas ??

Appears to be solved now after a google trawl. In the IE menu I went to Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and unchecked 'Use smooth scrolling'. The squeal from the psu has gone now :) No idea why that should suddenly have become a problem though as the mouse (Intellimouse Explorer wired optical) was not changed in the upgrade.
