I wander if anybody can assist me? but about 2 weeks ago, my Laptop started making a horrendous & loud whistling noise. Personally, I'm not sure what's causing this, apparently it's something to do with the fans &/or Skype, but then, I'm not sure. It started when I was using Skype to phone. It's terrible cos I simply can't control it, rebooting is useless, the blue screen has appeared etc. I need to open the Laptop & remove the battery in order to stop it, & even then, that doesn't work, cos when I put everything back, the noise's still there. I can't talk through the microphone, even I can listen what people are saying to me. I repeat, could anybody assist me with this? My Laptop is an ACER ASPIRE 5920, Windows 7 64 bit.

Yours sincerely,

Rob

Either:

a) your laptop has been haunted by the ghost of Roger Whittaker

b) your harddrive is about to die and burn

c) your heatsink fan (most likely) bearings are shot

I'd work from c backwards myself...
