Loud noise when i turn my computer on at times?

I just got a new computer. I had it built from one of my friends who can make computers. I dont really know alot about making them but i know how to take apart a computer. But my problem is.
My computer has been working fine and fast for a while now but just recently whenever i turned it on, sometimes it would make a loud noise like the fan is doing something weird. i tried to look in it today and everything seemed fine. when it does it i turn it off and wait a few minutes and when i turn it back on its alright. The case for the computer is a G-skill case. I dont know the model type but it has a blue fan on the side and its all black if that helps at all.
If you need anymore information about the computer i can tell you and any help on fixing the problem is very appreciated.

It really sounds like you have a wire bumping against a fan someplace. See if you can isolate the problem and use cable ties to tighten the cable where it won't strike anything.
