Why does my computer make a crashing sound now and then where did this come from?

Does it comes from inside  the computer case or from the speakers? :)

Your problem is probably either a stick of RAM has gone bad (especially if it's the only stick you have), or it needs to be reseated (pressed down on both ends), or your motherboard's battery has failed, which is the most likely, given the age of the computer.

depends on your system : are you booting in windows? Whats happening on your system now?  What recovery options did you have on your system HDD/DISK based ?\n\nIf so you could try a recovery on your machine - but beware some systems may crash out and you may have to do a TATTOO/ EXTHS on your system\n\nNeed more info

If a hard drive is making a lot of clicking noises, it's about to crash!

What verison of Windows are you using?  XP has a log.  If you right click on My Computer, Manage, click the plus sign beside Event Viewer, then click on System, you will find a list of most errors that your computer has.\n\nIf you are hearing a click, chances are it is a hardware problem, and not a software problems.  Since it is mostly when you are using a lot of rescorces, it could be that you are over heating, and your system is shutting down on it's own.  Or it could be a video problem.  \n\nYou may want to install a temp monitor on your computer and check it out when gaming.\n\nAlso, check your fans and make sure they aren't clogged up with dirt and dust, also some fans have filters, so if yours does, make sure it is clean.\n\nGood luck

A crash in computing is a condition where a program (either an application or part of the operating system) stops performing its expected function and also stops responding to other parts of the system. Often the offending program may simply appear to freeze. If this program is a critical part of the operating system kernel the entire computer may crash (a system crash).

If your running Windows XP, then you must have some special hardware or software problem, because Microsoft finally gave the consumer a quality operating system with the introduction of Windows XP. It has important crash ("blue screen") protection designs, just like the professional operating systems Microsoft produces like Windows XP professional and Windows 2000/NT etc.\nSo first, run all the AdWare SE, AVG AntiVirus, and Registry diagnostic programs (Registry Mechanic) to wring out those devils and demons in your software (download.com). Also, I recommend installing ZoneAlarm's freeware firewall.\nNext, make sure you have at least 256 MByte or more of RAM and plenty of spare hard drive space (100's of Megabytes minimum). Then make sure your hard drive isn't "fragmented". If so, run Microsoft's de-fragmenter.\nFinally, download a freeware utility program like\nhttp://www.glarysoft.com/quick-startup/\nwhich allows you to turn off programs that automatically load when you reboot your computer and may be conflicting with one another (those icons in the lower right corner called the "tray"). GlarySoft also offers registry troubleshooting and repair. Try turning off as many tray icons as possible and see if you still have the crashes.

couple of ways to see if it is a hardware or a software fault\n\nfirstly boot into safe mode - restart your pc and keep on tapping the f5 or f8 key then select safemode\n\nleave it in this mode for a while - does it shut down ?\n\ncheck your event viewer for any system errors (in the control panel - administrative - then event viewer) click on the system \n\nsee if this gives you any clues\n\nalso try getting into the bios or cmos setup - again leave it in this mode - does it shut down - if so then you definately have a overheating problem\n\nalso check you in you bios to see if you have a hardware monitor option - if so check the cpu, system temp and fan speeds\n\ncome back to us with your results

This is an unusual problem. Sounds to me as if your computer is crashing, because you don't have enough space/are running to many proceses, for the game to handle a simple exit. Try uninstalling some stuff and ending some processes. Before you end the processes, research them to make sure you don't close out anything important.

could be\n\nA. Power Surge!!\n\nB. Processor Over Kill\n\nC. Poor Wiring/Connectors\n\nD. Substandard Equipments\n\nE. Bad power Supply\n\ncould be any of this

It sounds to me like the system may have suffered from a static electric discharge or some kind of elctricity has passed through the processor. I know this because the pins are black and it is usually cause from electrical burns from some source of electricity. You could have left the computer on during a lighting storm or you could have experienced a power surge or brownout or spike in your house. Now this does not happen immediately but over time it can cause internal parts to become like that.

reinstall the program/drivers.  It sounds like a data crash.

It is not something serious.. don't worry about it. All it means is that one of the programs on your computer had an error condition which caused windows to restart.\n\nAs a feature, windows creates a snapshot of the contents of the memory whenever such a thing happens which is what the 'dump' is all about. In case you want tofind out which program it was, you can go to the system event viewer to find out. However, I do not think that it is a serious issue, so you can let it be.\n\nIn case it happens repeatedly while doing the same thing or using the same program (e.g. if it happens every time you try to open a document etc.) then that particular program can be checked for problems/reinstalled.

It sounds like either your harddrive crashed or has been disconnected.  Check to make sure the harddrive is connected properly.  Beyond that you'll have to replace the harddrive and re-install your operating system.

hmm, is it a self contained hard drive or an internal one. If it is external, open the thing up and see if you can place it in your pc and use it... \nIf it is internal, you need to be more specific and give more info on how it crashed, if your pc still works, ect. It maybe that it fried, got damaged or somehow got corrupted. If you get no response from it at all( try the variables, changing cables, power outlet, turn on off, install/backup drivers), either consult a personal comp tech to take a look at it, since it's hard to diagnose, or get a new one. Sorry

depends on the amount of RAM that you have. When you run out of RAM, everything will crash.
