First: open the box and clean the inside, focusing on the fans.  Use a vacuum cleaner and don't forget the fan that's in the power supply.  DON'T open the power supply (that's dangerous, even if you've disconnected the power cord which you should do before opening your computer), just move the vacuum cleaner over the fan blades.  While you're at it, clean out the rest of your computer as well; be gentle as not to break anything.\n\nThen put the power cord back into the power supply, do NOT close the computer, and switch it on.  Is it more quiet now?  Congratulations!  Shut down your computer, remove the power cord again, close the computer, and plug the power cord back in.  You're done.\n\nIt's NOT quiet [enough] yet?  Listen closely to what is causing the noise.  Replace the culprit, or have it replaced by someone who knows about computers.  Fans aren't terribly expensive, and neither are power supplies.  (If it's a fan, and not the one in the power supply, you could try to put a VERY little bit of WD40 on the axis of that fan.  The axis is usually covered with a tiny sticker, which you'll need to remove.  The fresh oil usually makes it hard to put the sticker back on, and when you don't succeed it usually doesn't take long before the oil dries up.  You'll be back at square one again.  So replacing the fan is probably a better solution.)\n\nGood luck!

It's not dust, although that is a contributing factor.\n\nAll computers, desktops and laptops, hum to a certain degree. The higher performance it is, the more quiet it is (often). The humming you hear is your computer working, and as it works it gets hot, which makes a little fan go off to prevent fires in your computer. If your laptop has been on a while then it will almost certainly hum, also if you're running high-memory processes like games or big files. That goes double if your laptop is older or entry-level.\n\nWhat you can do is: \n- buy a new laptop. (don't reccommend, although you can get one for $600 from Dell)\n- put the laptop on a soft, sound-absorbing surface (think placemats, blankets, mousepads, anything like that, the thicker the better)]\n- upgrade RAM to make things easier on your laptop. You can buy 512MB of RAM for about $49, make sure you know the right kind to buy and the right brands (I reccomend Kingston Technologies).\n\nhope i helped.

in case of heating up you should hear the fan spinning much faster, long before the laptop is shutting down - do you? it's pretty noisy. If you don't hear that, you should check the fan. Maybe you have a hardware test program delivered with your PC (e.g. Dell laptops have such a test program).\n\nFurther on, check the airflow channel from intake to exhaust in the laptop and remove all the dust in it, this will improve the cooling behaviour remarkable.

You may not run any applications but there are a lot of things running all the time in the background to keep Windows going. If you have Norton Anti-Virus, it does gobble a lot of memory. And Norton Security even more.\n\nI would also suggest that you increase your RAM to 512.\n\nBesides that, Spyware is the biggest culprit in slowing down computers. Download Spybot and run it. That will take care of any spyware and protect you from future ones.

You must have a lot of things at the startup menu then.Try installing a software called ccleaner.Run the cleaner first.THen go to the tools tab and clean up your startup you get a lot of junk there.\n\nIts a free software and is very effective.\n\nAll the best tuning your pc.\n\nHope i was of some help.

Go into msconfig and turn off programs that you don't need to start when Windows does.\n\nAlso scan for viruses and spyware.\n\nClean out temporary files, use disk cleanup and defrag

Look at your startup\n\ntype msconfig into Start-->Run. This prog will give a list of all the programs that are running with your computer. Disable whatever you don't need.\n\nDelete programs you don't need (these will take up room)\nMake sure you have enough hard-disk space (several gigs free is good)\nRun your virus scanner / spyware scanner. Viruses and spyware can really slow your computer down

Norton slow down the  performance of the PC. However you could try the steps in the link below to increase the performance of the PC.\n\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?cc=us&docname=bph06569&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

First, make sure your speaker wire is going into your GREEN plug in the back of your computer. Now, make sure you haven't muted your sound (you should see a red crossed out circle in the lower right hand of the screen near your time if it's muted). Right click it if it is and then uncheck mute. Next make sure your computer volume isn't on low. Instead of right clicking that little sound button (it looks like a small speaker), double left click it (this is the same button that would have shown you if it was muted or not). Check the volume controls and make sure they're at least half way up. There's a few other things to check too, but those are the main ones.

Add more fans - it should help ,or better -open Your computer and put 1 big fan  (its not really safe , but i use it like this ) .

That might blow dust into your CPU.\n\nI do not think the performance of your computer is because of the fan. It is probably a coincidence.\n\nTry going into your task bar and see what else is running that might be slowing you down.

I had this same problem! It annoyed me for the longest time, but I found that it was spyware. It was also spyware that made my computer run louder and harder than normal. All you do is download a trusted adware/spyware remover, I used Microsoft BETA http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx) and its free too. Try it.

normal. but if your computer is in an encoles space on most sides, it could be overheating. just move it out into a more open area. the noise should die down a bit. but it is normal. the buzzing means that all of the grears are moving properly.

Start-> Run -> type "msconfig" -> "Startup" tab -> UN ckeck the unwanted programs.. I think the most important are the applications of the antivirus and firewall programs you use...\nYes the startup programs consume RAM..
