Does anyone know why my computer is EXTREMELY LOUD?

If your processor is making loud noises, you would need to open the case and air blow the dust that's cluttered in your processor.  Dust gets collected in there, and it's good to dust it out often.

The extra fans will add to the noise.  So will the extra processors, and extra drives.\n\nPlus, servers are usually working a lot harder than your average workstation, so you will hear drives spinning up more often (and the fans running to compensate for them.

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

Some computers (especially laptops) have their own hardware volume control.  Even with all the Windows volumes at max, you can still get low sound if the computer's hardware volume is too low.  Check your computer and see if the volume is set too low.  I hit the function key and 7 or 8 to descrease/increase my volume.

if its making a loud whurrrrring sound, like a hum in way that means your air input fans and/or power unit fan are clogged with dirt and the fan is straining, causing the noise.\n\nif you have a fan on your processor as well, check it.

Its not the fan on your hard drive (it doesnt actually have one!).  It is possibly a dirty fan, and you may want to open the case up and clean the fans.  Just use a paintbrush (the big house painting kind) and you can easily wipe of all o the dust on the fans and heatsinks in the computer.  If it sounds like a loud BUZZing noise, then it is likely the bearings on the fan went out and it will need to be replaced.  If it has always been this loud, consider buying a more expensive "quiet" fan to replace it.

could be something wrong with your PC

try the following steps :\n1) Check your speakers cable that is plugged in the comp.\n2) Check Speakers power cable (if any ).\n3) Check If Sound driver is installed.\n4) Check Your Sound Card Driver Configuration.\n5) Check Windows Volume control (in the system tray).\n6) Call The computer engineer to check your pc.\n\nEnjoy !

There are many ways to make computers quieter, it depends how much money you want to spend and how quiet you want your computer. There are upgrades you can do to the case, fans and heatsinks as well as shifting the computer into another room and using long cables (recording studios do this). Sometimes you can replace the fans with very large heatsinks. Some computers can reduce the speed of the fans when it's cool, which means it's only noisy when the computer is hot or starting up. There might be an option or a utility that came with it to enable this feature. Alternatively if this feature is already on, maybe the computer is dusty - dust can reduce cooling. \nSee sites such as http://www.quietpc.com or http://www.endpcnoise.com/ for an example of upgrades.\n\nSee http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/buildaquietpc.html and http://www.silentpcreview.com/ for more details. If you are not confident to do the upgrades yourself, any computer repair shop should be able to do it for you.

The same thing happened with my computer, and i found out it was the overclocking of the CPU problem. Your fans on the back of the main part of your computer are probably blocked or clogged. Make sure you dont push it up agaist a wall, and try cleaning all the dust from the outside and inside.

Possibly your power supply fan.  Check to see if it has a lot of dust in it (at the back of your tower).  If it does, then you need to get some anti-static air spray and blow it out.  My Dell used to do that, but I always believed it was because something may have just been loose, and it was the case--all I had to do was tighten it up.  So, if you're computer savvy you could check out the innards to see if the IDE/SATAs are pluged in properly and if your processor fan is getting dusty--do the same to it, if it dusty.\n\nNow if it is more like a 'beep', then that means your computer has encountered an error.\n\nGood luck.

Could be the cooling fan or the hard drive. Check both.

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.

Your computer could have been heated too much.Try working on it after shutting down your pc for an hour or two.

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.

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.
