noise

[Patsmail]

my computer makes a really annoying buzzing sound, like a handglider. what
is it and how can i stop it?

Probably one of your cooling fans. Stick your finger in them one by one to
see if you can locate the source.

Good luck.

Don't stick your finger in anything. Just open the case and boot your PC, that
way you may be able to see and hear where the sound initiates. If it is your
cooling fan, you can get another one at many outlets such as BestBuy, Circuit
City or Radio Shack.

Shoot the moth/bug that is living inside

It could be cdrom, power supply fan bearings or cooling fan bearings,
harddrive, Videocard fan if it has one. If it is any of these prepare for
them to fail soon.

Have a person who knows alot about building computers find out for you.

I guess he wanted to say helicopter.
If your mainframe makes a noise like helicopter, it means somthing wrong.
I suggest you to change a case or a fan.
If it is from a CDROM, you know how to do it.

If it sounds like a helicopter, first, I would look for a wire that is
touching a fan.
