My Computer sounds like a a Transformer.

RakaDisciple · 04-11-2007, 08:36 PM

I wasn't sure what I was hearing at first when I powered up the computer I got. (Not new but new 2 me) Its sounds like a jet or a Transformer. You know like the Autobots vs. the Deceptacons Its scary and I am wondering if its just dirty or if its suppose to sound like this or what.

Any help is much appreciated.

If you have just got this computer from someone else the first thing I would do would be to pull the side cover off and get a can of compressed air in there and see if that makes a difference ( while turned off ) I would also have a look and see if there is any dust or grunge buildup on the fan blades and give them a clean if needed, will not hurt to blow out the power supply.
If that does not work let us know

Well I gave it a try and it sounds better, but still pretty loud. I might not have been able to get all areas though since I was too afraid to take off very many cords incase I couldn't put them back on correctly. I hit the hot spots though I think. I got most of the fans I saw.
