Sounds like a cheap power supply with garbage capacitors. I know emachine psu units do this..

If it is a really kind of hard to hear high-pitched sound it could possibly be the capacitors on the MB but I don't think its a prob that u can hear them. It's like in a camera when u turn the flash on u can hear the sound when its charging

thing is....its on non-stop. It only turns off when i start up my comp. There a way i can turn it off somehow without me actually pulling the plug???

Oh yes, replace the capacitors on your motherboard, if the sound doesn't stop, replace the ones in your PSU...
