Why is my computer making so much noise when it works? It looks like a fan running at high speed.

I got says it's because my warranty on some of the software is finished or something like that. Does this sound right?

That looks like someone trying to sound like they know what they're talking about, but in fact having no idea, but assuming you less than even that they will do - which gives the illusion that they know more.

What is the computer make & model?

You have picked up the machine, bought some canned / air compressed to clean electronics, has opened the computer (in the case of office) and blew the fans/bown case?  (You must blow out the vents of admission / a laptop computer in a similar way.)

Seems to me a dirty system and/or a faulty fan.

    See the excerpts 1-5 to remove the side panel and the front panel. Clean the cover (front and back) and the low forehead, area F on pg7. The front panel has usually a grid or slots at the bottom. It's the front air intake. Imagine all the unwanted blocked upward, you will find.

    For the air flow, never place the unit on a mat. If a floor, I found that place it on a 4 "top box will increase air. Make sure that the front panel extends beyond the edge of the box.

  • My computer makes a whistling noise when turned on

    When I turn on my netbook starts to whistle, this sound comes and goes

    Could check you if the noise comes from:

    1. Your speakers
    2. The internal components of your computer

    As stated by SpiritX, it is more than likely to be the fan, but it is good to check the source of the noise.
    If you have any doubt about the noise coming from your speakers, you should get your netbook checked by a certified computer technician or the store where you got the computer.
    If your fan stops, the whole of your computer could degrade. It is urgent.
    Kind regards

  • Noise when using computer

    Suddenly, when I use my computer to get on the internet, I hear a thud. It happened once before, but suddenly disappeared. I wonder if the fan may be bad. Any ideas on what is the cause? The only other time that I hear it is when my computer is near the end of the scan of Norton fuul. This was bought in 2009 is therefore an old computer.

    PS Now I don't hear the noise, but most of the time I hear the sound when you go to different Web sites.

    I tried your suggestion yesterday and by changing the diet plan of the balanced or recommended energy saving plan has worked. I don't hear any noise now.  The performance for power management is not as good as it takes more time to load web pages, but I prefer this to the noise. He said beside the plan of standby power energy savings is rated with a 5 and the performance is rated a 2, while balanced or recommended plan has energy savings, a 3 and performance 3.

    I've always kept it on the recommended plan, which I think is the plan by default as it was defined like this when I bought my computer.

    Out of curiosity, why is she become necessary now that I change for energy savings?  I have that noise when I got to my computer. Is this because the computer is older?

    The information that you sent me has also stated the following:

    Some parameters to cause fans to turn too fast for a typical home environment. If you use the computer in an environment quiet where temperatures remain mild and stable (up to and 30 degrees Celsius or 86 degrees fahrenheit), and then follow these steps to adjust the power settings in a more appropriate setting:

    Do you know why the environment calm and temperatures are a factor?

    I waited until today to answer that I wanted to test it for another day. I also put it to (balanced) recommended plan and the noise comes back then I then changed once again to the energy saver and it will keep on saving.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Why is my computer when I turn it on saying Dell Dock language file has failed to load?

    Why is my computer when I turn on it saying: Dell Dock language file has failed to load, which is necessary for its future operation up and when I try to go bad, he says iapplication? Is could someone please tell me if it of a problem or not. Thank you very much. E-mail: * address email is removed from the privacy *

    You must have Dell Dock for your computer works correctly.  It's just a convenience tool that Dell put on their computers.  If you want a working version, you can download here

    http://www.delldock.com/ .

    Don't forget there is no other things that got corrupt however.  Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    I can't play a DVD in my DVD player. It says that it cannot read the source. I use Ubuntu. Also, when I tried to play a music CD, it could play, however, the driver creates so much noise (noise of spinning). Can you tell me what could be wrong with that?

Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.

  • 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.

  • PCI-6733 signal noise when the computer screen is plugged, the weight on the case

    Greetings,

    I hope that it is in the right section.

    Card: PCI-6733

    I'm a 60 Hz, 2 mV peak-to-peak with a compensated 2.4mV noise when the monitor is plugged into the VGA port.

    Same card in a second computer, problem is more serious, 4mV Ridge to Ridge, 4.3mV offset. When I push on the case near the power supply the offset rises from a few millivolts.

    The two computers are running the same exact versions of software and drivers. Dell and quite similar to each other in both material and form.

    I have a third computer that noise coming out of the map is horrible no matter what.

    I exchange business cards and the problem is with the computer, does not follow the acquisition cards.

    No idea how to solve this problem and what is the cause?

    Thanks for any thoughts!

    -Michael

    Tall_Michael,

    Looks like you may be plugging your monitor and your computer in different points of sale.  If this is the case, this is probably the cause of your noise and can be eliminated by connecting the two devices on the same socket.

    Here are some articles that deal with the noise you are experiencing and various workarounds in the cases where what I mentioned above are not the case:

    The problems of noise in the measurement configurations

    Sources of the measuring Signal ground

    How to eliminate noise on measures DC power without using a lowpass filter of material?

    I hope this helps!
