My computer make the noise like all computers do when
they start up,but then it doesnt shut up,it keeps making
the noise (like a desk top fan) all the time while its
going,even if its not doing anything.Ive tried to do a
system restore back that will only let me go back as far
as the beginning of the month and no further.
help please its getting frustrating.

p.s how do I do a system restore further back than the
begining of the month.
cheers
 
Hi

It could that it is one of the fans inside your PC case. If possible open the case and make sure that all the fans are free of dust, dirt etc. It could also be the fan on your graphics card. Again, if possible see if that fan is clear of dust, dirt etc. Have a look to see if any of the blades are out of line. Make sure that you have turned your PC off 1st. I wouldn't have thought that using SR would solve the problem

It sounds like one of the fan bearings is not good.
If you are VERY carefull try to stop each fan turning if the noise
stops then replace that fan, if not try the next one. Don't use your
fingures unless you want to loose the tip. I use a pencil but and this
is a BIG but go slowly untill the fan stops but only stop it for 1 or
2 seconds or it will start to burn out. It is after all an electric
motor, and motors don't like being force stopped while current is
applied to them

If you are not confident with this take it to someone who knows about
hardware.


I STRESS be very carefull DO NOT touch any of the chips or circuits.

It depends on the make of computer but you can have quite a few fans
in there.

hardrive coolers, CPU coolers, case coolers, video card
collers.
