My computer sounds like it is about to take off?

Question

There is a winding noise, that won't stop, even after I've rebooted. Also, it is very slow, as if I had dial-up! I've defragged, compressed, and performed the task of 'clean disk'

Can someone give me good advice?

Answer 1

clean the inside, specially the fan and cpu

Answer 2

If its making a noise, its 1 of 2 things... Either the fan is going up which could cause the PC to be slower, or most likely, its your Hard Drive.  Save all of your info onto a disk or another hard drive.. Sounds like that one is about to die...  Also, check to make sure the HD is secure in its position just to be sure.

Answer 3

whatever be more specific

Answer 4

Could be a thermal issue slowing things down.

Clean the inside of the PC, especialy the fans.

Try to identify where the sound is comming from.

I use a can of air,but do it outside so you dont get everything inside your house dusty.

Also, stear clear of any motherboard jumpers.

You don;t want them blowing away with the dust.

If it's still making the sound after cleaning you will probably have to replace the whining component; most likely a fan.
