Title: wierd noises Post by: SS on February 21, 2004, 05:06:06 PM Hmmm. It might be your PSU fan. If you stop the fan by moving (by sticking something hard in it, not a finger!) and the sound stops, then that shows it probably is. Warning: If you do this it might break your computer, so do it at your own risk.
Also, try just tapping your machine gently, or kicking hard if you want to risk breaking it, and that might help. :P Title: wierd noises Post by: mole on February 21, 2004, 05:44:21 PM ive kicked it *counts on fingers then starts on toes*... ive kicked it before. hmmm and ive stuck my finger in the fan before :blink: seems to be ok now though

I've actually had a computer catch fire once. :huh: .. the power supply was too dusty :cloud: , it either got too hot and got the dust to some flash point :fireball: (spontaneously combusted), or the dust short-circuited something :lightning: . And to think my family and I were headed out the door… Nothing was destroyed except the power supply :) So it’s a good idea to keep the insides clean (the computer's or otherwise), and to make sure all the fans are working properly or are sufficient for the job. (Fan service anyone? :grass: ) Title: wierd noises Post by: mole on February 22, 2004, 12:52:24 AM Quote Fan service me! me! me! Quote *strokes compy* pardon?
