Possibly dust in the fans.
Try sucking the dust out from the blowhole at the back. Might work. |
|
By:
ok thanks egg, will try that :)

By:
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 ;) |

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 |

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...
|

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

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

|
|
By:
No! It might hurt briefly but nothing major.
|

By:
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..
|
