PC fan whirl and screen freezes at Windows

Mar 21st, 2007

hi,

My pc fan will sometimes give a loud whirl at startup and the screen will subsequently freezes after Windows is launched. This happens frequently but not always. I've ran defragment, fixed registry and checked the fan to no success. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this thing. Appreciate your advise.

If you can access the BIOS check the temperature of the CPU. If you don't know how to access the BIOS you could download Everest Home Edition, this is free.

It would also help if you provide the make and model of your computer.
