Help! My computer makes a noise loud!

My computer is a thud.  It accelerates and sounds as if she's going to fly.  It stops after a while, then starts again.  I don't know much about computers and have no idea where to look to fix this problem.  My computer is a Compaq lapstop.  I have windows 7.

The most likely cause is the heatsink that is partially blocked. You can try

  1. compressed air from the vent on the side
  2. remove the covers on the underside in the area directly where the fan is
  3. take it to a reputable technician or if authorized service center 1 and 2 will get you nowhere...

  • Computer makes strange noises? 3

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion, model s3842uk. n___n;

    My computer because of the weird noises when I start it, it's like a semi - quiet, but still discernible "squeaking"? I did some research into this because that my mind was going into overdrive thinking that my pc is dying (that's my baby in terms of playing games like WoW, L4D2, Sims 3, Fallout New Vegas, etc. with brio) so I'd really like to know if anyone can help me.

    Some have suggested that it is the CPU fan or another fan, and maybe it's because I'm not sure how to open my case. I really want to play with my system in case I damage anything (I'm a super awkward age 16 years). xD

    So, it is more than likely due to an accumulation of dust right? I think I had this PC for over a year so the poor thing probably got a lot of dust in there, but I'm still a bit "eh" of everything.

    So, if anyone of you, it professionals are ready to help me, I would appreciate it.

    If I do not need to open the case so I will need to ask a friend of the family who is a technician, he can do it for me because I'm desperate. xD

    Hello LishaFTW, sorry to hear your system does not work as it should.

    Some HP and Dell systems, do a 'noise' stronger during the first start for a few seconds. This noise is from fans until the mother could take control of the fan speed. It is a normal phenomenon, but only if it just last for several seconds.

    A bad business, and/or components can cause a State of overheating, even on newer systems, especially if they have been used when on the ground instead of a desktop computer.

    Here a link to the HP site that shows how to do to remove the control panel of the case. You can then clean the inside of the casing and components, paying special attention to the area of heatsink / CPU fan.

    Make sure you do not move or damage the components.

    You can use compressed canned air to blow the dust/dust of the system and the heatsink / CPU fan. Do not allow the processor or another fan to turn when you use compressed air, as this may cause damage to the fan.

    I suggest take the system from the outside of the building to clean dust/dirt, since when the compressed air is applied, there is a bit of it in the room.

    When completely cleaned, just reinstall Control Panel case and start the system and see if the problem has been resolved.

    If not, you may leave the case Panel and start the system and try and determine source noise, making sure not to touch anything inside the case. I'd look for any fan noise that seems to be another noise that all movement of the air, like a bearing bad grinding, or rubbing sound.

    I hope this helps.

  • Computer keeps freezing and makes strange noises?

  • My computer makes a clicking noise at random - in the diagnosis of the Apple what is the meaning of error 4HDD/30 / 40000005:SATA (0,0) Please?

    My computer makes a clicking noise at random - in the diagnosis of the Apple what is the meaning of error 4HDD/30 / 40000005:SATA (0,0) Please?

    Several clues:

    1. HARD and SATA drive in the message... On the way SATA HARD drive
    2. Clicking noise, which is an early signal of imminent death for HARD drive (there are only two types of readers... those who died and those who will be)

    I would like to start keep good clones (CarbonCopyClone, bombich.com, $40) for external drives or backups Time Machine.  Any backup of the drive, not just your favorite parts.  Perform backups on a schedule without fail IMHO.

    You can also start to consider a SSD at macsales.com (their mercury collection is highly recommended) or a new HARD disk, at least start planning if the SSD cost is worth the benefit of speed on the HARD drive.  You can buy it later.

    Just my paranoid approach to this situation.

  • Satellite L855 makes a noise and hangs expecially in games

    Hello.

    I just bought a SATELLITE L855 - 10 p (http://pt.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=PT), with last Wednesday ATI graphics card, but my computer came with one problem (which I will try to explain, because already, I went to the store to pass for another and the cams newone with the same problem as the previous one, also the tecnic can't find the error). Now the problem:

    When I'm in 'youtube' or 'windows media player' or expecially when I play LoL (League of Legends, online game) my computer freezes for a few seconds (one or two) and that it crashes, it makes a noise too.

    If I'm with a helmet I listen to that noise in the headphones. I tried everything like reinstalling the video card and sound card drivers and it changed nothing, accidents and noise remain. I don't know what to do...-

    Is there a solution? I can not even find what the problem... And tecnic store seems to not be able to solve either...

    I appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Could it be that the system hangs during the second view and appears so this strange noise?
    In most cases, the system hangs because the CPU is stressed and overloaded

    Someone in this thread had some streaming video LAG
    Maybe your problem could be solved also.

  • My computer makes a snoring sound.

    My computer makes a snoring sound.  As a plane ready to take off.  What happens and why is it.  Wake up it is so strong.

    This is probably caused by one of your fans. If we took some dirt over time, this can cause a loud hum when it is activated.
    Try and figure out what the origin of the noise, if it is not the CPU fan, you can probably clean them yourself using a can of compressed air or a vacuum cleaner (careful with PC components!). If the CPU fan, it may be better to have an expert to clean or replace.

    If you find that the noise comes from your diet, you would be best to replace it.

    Hello Jimmy10 66,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to follow your alerts, and I want to help you get your work again.

    Before we get too far, it's always a good idea to check that your 'secret' button just above your volume controls is not engaged. If you see that the yellow indicator go ahead and switch to the other position to turn it off.

    Alternatively, you can drag up from the bottom of the screen and make sure that the control of "do not disturb" is disabled.

    If those who are for the time off, go ahead and restart your phone and retest alerts. If the behaviour continues or if you encounter any problems, please reach out again and let the community know what other steps you have tried. The entire community is here to help.

  • Computer speakers crackling noise

    Hello I got my pc for more than 3 years and just discovered this forum!

    My pc is only used as a jukebox of the touch screen, but it makes a noise of terrible crackling from the (sometimes stronger than other periods) pc speakers. This always happened, it seems completely crazy that I just decided to solve the problem!

    Any ideas?

    Can you please tell us what model of PC do you have? Are you using the original version of the OS preinstalled?
    > What has always happened...
    How to understand this? Have you noticed this problem on the first day?

    Have you tried to test the sound quality using headphones, different ways to test the internal speakers, whatever it is?
    Please post a little more information. This can help us understand the problem.

  • Equium - hard drive makes clicking noises

    Hello, can someone please help?

    I think my laptop is in trouble, the hard disk (or I think it's the hard drive) is do a lot of clicking noises and my battery life is running down when the adapter is connected. It seems that run down when the drive made those rattling. When the power mode is energy-saving sometimes stops clicking and the battery life fills up again, but recently its been doing even in power saving mode.

    I'm moving all my files on an external hard drive, even though I have a lot of stuff on my lap top. I can't afford a new laptop

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    How to help you without knowing your model mobile exact?

    Generally if the HARD drive makes clicking noises it s time to replace. Backup to an external drive has been a very good idea.

    And how you can lose the life of the battery if the AC adapter is plugged? I put t understand it.

  • A satellite - speakers crack and make strange noises

    Hello

    I have problems with my speakers. Crack speakers and make strange noises. I have tried everything to fix this (new audio drivers install, re - install windows...) and nothing has helped. I see someone has installed a new version of the bios and this has solved the problem.

    'UN' fforunately I have already installed the actual bios system and the system does not have to reinstall the current version.

    Can someone tell me how I can re - install the software in the bios?

    Thank you very much

    Hey,.

    Such resettlement is no function you want to say to the BIOS. You can only upgrade to a newer version but not to reinstall the current version.

    I think that there is another solution for your problem, but above all that it would be interesting to know if you can see these problems with external speakers or headphones too.
    You can check this please?
