my computer is making funny noises?

I think everyone is right about the fan.\nI have a fan that is making noises.\nIt doesn't do it all the time.\nI leave my pc on all the time (another debate)\nbut sometimes it growls at me and sometimes it is quiet.\nIt think eventually I will have to replace it because I don't know if you can oil it.\n\nThe first link I give you below shows how to replace your computer fan yourself very cheap.\nThen I add some links to help see what to buy later.\nGood Luck\nSteffy

Next time list the make and model of your computer and speakers, and the OS your running. With out that info all i could suggest is more sound trouble shooting:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=RNWK,RNWK:2005-50,RNWK:en&q=trouble+shooting+sound+issues

The behavior you are describing is serious and is probably related either to a configuration with your motherboard, a problem with the CPU or similar.\n\nYou should definitely return it for service.

i used to get buzzing noises... they were either from my old 256MB graphics card (2 years old)...or it was my CPU fan... I used to lubricate the fans to shut it up...had to do that every month...

If you are hearing any noise as the drive spins then it may be a disk failure.  If there is no noise then there may be hope...check the link below..scroll down to see a list of utilities that may help.  Good luck.

I just had the same thing happen to me. It was a defective hard drive on my computer causing the issue.....I took it to the Geek Squad for repair....It wasn't an old computer either, 3 months old....Hope this helps!!\n\nGL;)

sounds like maybe the video card.

It would make noise when the processor gets hot and the fan kicks in. Sounds like a cooling issue. Have it checked and it probably needs the vents cleared or it is being blocked. Since it's new it should still be under warranty. So don't wait before it expires before you bring it in for service.

Run a anti virus and a spy ware program.  It sounds as if it's spy ware.

More likely, your fan is bad.  If it was the power supply, you would notice more issues with the actual computer.

Sound like your computer is running in the (safety mode) Try running your antivirus software to check for viruses as something is putting it in the safty mode.

Do you mean the sound coming from your speakers sounds like chipmunks? If so, you probably need to update your sound card driver. \n\nEasiest thing to try is open Internet Explorer, click on "Tools", then "Windows Update". Once there, check on the left side to see if there are any hardware driver updates for you machine. Windows update makes it very easy to update drivers if they are available through this method.

processors dont make noise\n1 fan \n2 hard drive\nmostlikely a fan is burning out they make a loud humming noise but still function when the bearing or bushing goes bad\nunplg puter open case and clean all dust out a bood hose type vac works good also get electrosafe spay and spray to remove remaining dust follow directions on can then replace cover and turn back on if prob still exists open back up and while running listen to the fan up close and c if that is it \ni really think it is a fan possibly clogged by dust or just wearing out

It sounds like your RAM may be damaged and may need replaced.

Sounds like a problem with your sound card. How old is your computer? If it's under warranty, have the sound card replaced. If is isn't under warranty, replacing a sound card isn't easy, but it's not impossible. It does mean taking the computer apart and this is not something a novice should do. Check around for a good technician, friends, neighbors, etc., to find one. Some of them will not charge you for diagnostics (checking to find the problem.) Phone calls asking questions don't cost anything. I know this is not much help, but I really believe sound card is your problem.
