PC Help please

no idea what the wookie in star wars sounds like.

Possibly dust in the fans.

Try sucking the dust out from the blowhole at the back. Might work.

ok thanks egg, will try that :)

Or may have to open it up to suck/blow the dust out.

Or may need new fans.

Or (worse) the hard drive could be on its way out. Difficult to tell without hearing it.

fans seem ok once its up and running...but trying to back up stuff in case its the
dreaded hard drive...which is getting on a bit now... thanks again egg and may the force
be with you ;)

this may sound ridiculous but my computer sometimes sounds like that, and if i move it slightly it stops.

its the outer case vibrating for some reason.

I did try and move the case kingL but that didnt help and its clear of anything so...I dont
think its that...it had a new hard drive back in...mmm 2003 so I think it might be on its last legs :D

That must be a fine machine you are running there. :|

:¦

lol :D

easy enough to rule yer fans in or out...with comp up and running stick your finger in the blades of the fans, one at a time to stop the fan briefly...if noise goes away there's yer answer, if not then could be hdd on it's way out...

mmm... that sounds a bit scarey, I think I'll get hetty on the case tomorrow and go from there...

don't be a g@yer...it doesn't hurt and you'll at least have a start point...get on with it man.

CG has delicate artist's fingers.

She's also not a man.

lol ok swearbox I will give it a try...it wont cut my fingers off will it? :|

No! It might hurt briefly but nothing major.

EGG knows....soz for calling you a man GC...and a g@yer...trust me, it won't hurt...if ur concerned get a pen and stick that in..

no worries sb, ok I think a pen would be a better idea..I will try that

Ah- ha, a wookie is a star wars thing.

Never seen any of them.

Merry Xmas to you and yours, Lolly
