Very noisy fan on the back...

Most recently, it happened. I backed up my computer in my apartment at College. I recently installed a GeForce4 TI 4200 to replace my GeForce2 MX (I don't know if this is related to the problem, it is more likely is not, but it seemed to have started at around the same time). In any case, when I turn on the computer, it starts normally and goes to windows XP. 30 seconds after the start of XP, the fan at the back of the Tower (in the middle of the back, not the top one) starts making this loud snap. It seems to make stronger and stronger every day, or it's maybe just me. After a few minutes, the noise starts to decline slowly until the fan was again quiet. Usually, I stick a thin and in object to see if it still turns, and it is =)

Why is this happening?

That looks like a dying fan.  Especially since the noisest on start up. As soon as you can change

  • Very noisy fan on the M30X-129

    Hello

    I have a very disturbing problem. My laptop fan is very strong and is slowing down to take me into the wall.

    Is there anything I can do to make it quieter.
    Thank you

    I say: Yes, but this isn't a perfect solution. On this way you will certainly be able to clean the machine properly. To do this, the unit must be partially disassembled.

    I know you hate me because of this suggestion, but it will be much better to do this on the professional manner of service.

  • Satellite U840W-10J - noisy fan and the version of the bios

    Hello

    more top of the machine when you run tempro said new version of bios is available, the link to it is [Satellite U840W BIOS 6, 40 - WIN | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 198 & selProduct = 7570 & selSh ortMod = null & language = 13 & selOS = 40 & selType = 4 & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 84640 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

    But when I go to the bios, it says the version of bios is already 6.4 - which is strange since the release of this version of the bios date is 10/07/13. And I don't know that I don't have day of the bios for this version this month :)

    Why does say new version is available?
    Would be - that there's a newer version available, that only that it binds to an evil?
    Even if I download and try to install it, it says that this version of the rom is the same.

    Second question is noisy fan, most of the time is at very high speed (and because of the odd design, when the laptop is open, screen - which becomes really hot fan).
    Since no other laptop I used make these noises, if I really need to update for the bios? But which version?

    Health Monitor shows the 77% fan speed - and I'm not playing games or whatever it is, cpu is always below 10%, I m doing nothing, just a light browsing can turn up to such percentage. What I've noticed, is that it becomes this top still when HARD drive this is - like application installation, download updates, etc... I have download the latest drivers intel to drive HARD, all drivers are more recent. Or is it only noisy due to bad design (fan blowing on screen), and I can use it for heavy work and just have to ignore the noise of the fan?

    Last updated driver to trackpad kills finger double scroll btw, so, maybe you guys could solve the problem too? Since I had to go back to the old version.

    BTW, the machine is only two days old

    I think that you should not be confused on BIOS. Maybe there is a problem with Tempro. This process runs automatically and it is possible that there is a technical problem. If you have latest BIOS is OK so Don t you worry about this. Just continue to use your laptop and don t change anything.

    What about cooling fan? Cooling fan is controlled automatically and according to the temperature CPU cooling fan works more rapid or slower. When you play the games you need more performance, so use leverage plan high performance. For each day of activities, use the balanced power plan. It will reduce the CPU usage, but it will be good enough for low level activities. What you can try is to change the options for the method of cooling. You can find it in the advanced power options. It should reduce fan cooling and portable activity should run quietly.

    Play around with these options.

  • Tecra S2 very noisy fan

    I just got my (used to have a S1) S2, but the fan is very noisy. It is noisy it is even annoying me during labor.

    I updated the driver in power saving mode and the power to register the software. But een noise remains.

    The fan also seems to operate continuously at full speed. Especially when loading the batteries upwards again.

    In battery mode
    In battery mode the fan starts, goes to high speed, stops for a short period, starts, going at high speed, stops for a shotr then that implemented site, etc etc this cycle is repeated over and over again. Very annoying.

    Why as with the S1 series where the fan seems to work constantly but that at low speed if you do not hear it.

    Mode full power
    The fan only is in battery mode back regularly at top and goes down to reduce speed also with regular periods. Why not let the fan turns at average speed?
    And as written above when the battery GET fans continue to run at high speed noisy!

    Is there an update of the material of possibel with a fan with less noise? Maybe by any other type of fan.

    I think to go back to my S1 and sell this S2 as it is very boring school work.

    Hello

    As much as I know on some units the fan running normal.
    It is normal that the fan make such a noise.
    I know that it is possible to run 3rd party tools to let the fan run all the time in slow speed.
    I think that you can find in the net.
    In addition, you can try to do the BIOS update if one available on download from Toshiba site.
    You can find them all on

    http://www.toshiba-tro.de/subpage/BIOS.html

    By the way the only way to change some settings of the cooling fan you can find in power management.

    Good luck

    Good bye

  • Always on very noisy fan, have you checked the manual provided

    My dv6 6b51ea is simply out of fourteen months if the guarantee and the fan started to be on always and very loudly. It works from the moment the power is on at the moment in hibernation or stops.

    I have most BIOS recentn but have not updated during the life of the computer, the computer never runs above 35 degrees to help a number of hardware monitors to check and the vents and fan zone was kept clean.

    a strange thing found when you use the hardware monitor is that the graphics card sensor monitors 0 degrees and the fan is supposed to be at 0 RPM and not racing!

    Ideas please would be entirely satisfied grid as out of warranty and short of a motherboard problem I have no idea

    Thank you, Sean.

    I had already watched the video, it turns out to be a broken fan. One of the sensor cables had broken away from the joint.

    Thanks for the help

  • Re: Noisy fan of the Satellite X 205 - S9349

    Hello!

    Recently, my laptop started making too much noise because of the cooling fan built into the left side of the laptop.

    Anyone know how to clean it or replace it?

    I think that some of my housecat fur got stacked in it, is it possible to get to the fan and clean it with a vacuum cleaner or smth like that?

    Thank you for your replies, I understand.

    p.s Sorry for my bad English.

    Hello

    > Anyone know how to clean it or replace it?
    Te simpler to clean the cooling fans is a use of the spray of compressed air.
    These aerosols can be purchased from dealers for different laptop/computer.

    Compressed air would remove dust and debris from vents and cooling fans.

    Try this.

  • Noisy fan - fan starts 15 minutes after turning on the Qosmio F10

    My Qosmio F10 has always had a very noisy fan. The fan noise starts always 15 minutes after turning the PC on and stays of less regardless of what I do on the PC - even if this happens be nothing else!

    I tried to change the battary cooling method optimized in the toshiba saving settings in an attempt to stop the fan coming on but any change of setting seems to have no effect on the fan. I did a search on these forums and found a link to the utility fan - but the link now appears to be dead and someone somewhere else also suggested update but tv pilots who did not work or the other. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this laptop less noisy?

    It's all a bit frustrating saw I bought it to listen to music - and all you hear is the fan when the music calms down!

    Thanks in advance

    Believe me that it is not unusual that the F10 is a laptop with a high GPU and CPU. These regions produce a lot of heat and it must be cooled!

    Please don t compare mobile portable fans with the Qosmio. The Qosmio laptop properties resemble a PC and in my view a desktop PC is much stronger than the F10

  • The computer starts very noisy until Windows starts

    Starting the PC with new GPU Quadro - YouTube

    Watch the video. As the computer starts, it becomes very noisy. I thought it was the GPU as a first step, but it doesn't seem to matter which GPU is installed. This has happened for a while now because I have built this PC a few weeks ago. It was very quiet at first. Could not yet say that it was on. And now this terrible noise that I can't explain.

    I removed a GPU, then the other. I guess it's the motherboard or a fan making the noise - I can't imagine moving parts on the motherboard that could make that noise. Anyway, once Windows has fully booted most of the noise dies down with the exception of a little rattle noise. But not as quiet as it once was.

    I posted on forums of PNY and NVidia on this, but I don't expect much response because it is looking as if it was not GPU bound at all. I'll try ASUS then

    core i7 - 4930 K 6 3.4 GHz processor

    ASUS P9X79 - E WS motherboard

    64 GB of Corsair Dominator RAM

    ASUS Direct CU II OC / 3 GB GeForce GTX780

    PNY Quadro K4200

    Intel 530 OS SSD series engine

    Good news! It was one of the case fans. Interference with a cable or on the side of the cover. Of course, the less accessible fan, but I had

  • To replace the noisy fans in HPE h8-1030

    Hello

    I need help to solve a problem of fan, I have a 2 years HPE h8-1030/pc, last year, 1 fans became more louder and I noticed snapping sound. I tried a few minor corrections, changed the power setting and vacuum the fans, (as recommended on the hp site) the side of the case was deleted to determine which fan is the source of the problem, this leads me to believe that the problem of noise is due to the heat, which brings me to why I contact hp support I need a recommendation of what I should do next, I need to what type of replacement or the fans? I looked on Amazon but don't see anything that was specific to my pc case or the processor (AMD Phenom II X 6 1090 t. 3,20 Ghz 64-bit) and would like some advice. Once again the specifications are:

    -HPE h8-1030

    -AMD Phenom II X 6 1090 t. 3,20 Ghz

    -64 - bit

    -Windows 7

    Specific models, the brand names would be very useful
