i appologize if this is in the wrong section. Lately my computer fan has been turning on and when it runs it is very loud. I let my copmuter sit over night and i turned it on and within 10 minutes the fan came on and is loud as can be. How do i stop this? i dont think it would be overheating that fast. maybe it need a dusting inside? or something else? please help...thanks

Jump to PostClean it!
I use a soft bristled, clean paint brush to dust off, then a plunger type camp mattress inflater to blow the dust out of the case. If the fan is still loud, try carefully peeling back the sticker, and applying a single drop of sewing machine oil …
Jump to PostI've had the same problem a couple of months ago.. a couple of bangs against the computer solved it though. I'll try cleaning my computer as well.
Jump to PostIf that happens, it probably indicates a fan that's working its way forward on the bearing. If that's the case, the fan should be replaced anyway, because it'll fail sooner rather than later.
Jump to PostWhat are your computer stats? and if you know what motherboard you have, then the motherboard manufacturer ususally has a untility that lets you monitor system values like cpu temperature, fan speed, voltage etc.

If you're 'banging' your computer while it's running, you are probably damaging the platters in your hard drive!
