• 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.

  Hello

  1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
  2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?

  Step 1: Search for the issue in the clean boot state.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  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.

  Best regards

• My computer has just been deleted/cleaned due to virus, when I press on what anyone, my computer makes click sound

  When I press on what anyone, my computer makes click sound... How can I stop it

  Original title: click sound

  Locate the speaker icon in the system tray. Mouse right click and set the volume to zero or select mute. Or the other of these actions will remove the clicks but also all other sounds. This includes audio media player and others.

  -OR-

  Navigate to Control Panel All Items Sound. Click the sounds tab choose model of sounds. (Usually set to default Windows.)

  See the list in the program events window. Set if they are boring to something else or climbs to (none). Out OK.

• Is there a way to know what makes a noise of grinding on my lap? I was told that my sound card driver may be able

  Sound card:

  Analog Devices, Inc.

  Model: SoundMax Digital Audio Intergrated

  Driver: smwdm.sys

  Updated: February 17, 2012

  Video card:

  NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500

  Pilot: nv4_mini.sys

  No upgrade

  I recently did the upgrade of the driver of the Doc and found things that I didn't exist on my computer, which was given to me by my nephew.  He turns quiet and really did not have any complaints until after that I did the upgrade of the driver of the Doc.  Now, that sounds like a grinding machine.  I was told that when I talked about Facebook, I need to update my sound card driver.  I did a search to see what it means, but I am not prepared to do right now.  Can someone reassure me that it will be an easy fix?

  Could be a problem of fan cooling, remove the side cover of the tower and see if you can see or hear the sound is coming from.

  My advice would be the same. Certainly, it looks like a fan at the origin of the problem. Fans get older they intermittently can make noise. This would explain why you hear sometimes and not others.

  Furthermore, to see if your sound card, causing the noise (which I doubt), just turn off all your speakers when you hear the noise. If the sound stops immediately, it's actually a sound card related question.

  There are often several fans inside the computer.  There will be one which is part of the power supply. Sometimes one or more attached to the casing of the computer itself (usually the Panel that you remove the first and one on the front of the case.)  There will probably be one on top of the CPU (central processing unit), as well as on the video card.

  Not recommended advice (which I did before) - gently tap on the center of the fan that you suspect is making noise. Jiggleling it will sometimes make noise to stop. In this case, you know which fan needs to be replaced.

  Even worse advice (which I also done before) - take a small piece of wood (for example, a 1/4-inch dowel rod) and insert slowly into the fan to keep it from turning. If the noise stops, you have found the fan that needs to be replaced. Remove the stick to regularize quickly because he will always try to run and we don't want it burn.

  If you can't find that a fan is causing trouble you want to replace as soon as possible because it will eventually stop working and cause one or more components in your computer to overheat.

• 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.

• Computer keeps freezing and makes strange noises?

  For some time my computer keeps freezing and makes weird noises when this happens. I have a laptop Gateway, Windows Vista, Firefox and internet exp.9, AVG for internet seuirty, and I tried system restore to a couple of times to solve this problem. When the computer crashes I have no choice but to restart and then it always ask if I want to start again, but in safe mode. I don't seem to have any problems in safe mode. In addition, the windows updates did not work, they always came as "update failed" it happened all of a sudden. Please, what could be the cause this problem and what are some solutions?

  Hello

  Follow these methods and check if that helps:

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to set up your computer in a clean boot state, and check to see if the same problem happens.

• 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.
