Answer 1

It's ancient first off

so u probably have a really cheap tower or CPU fan and your computer is always running at maximum load because it's a bit dated for newer apps hence the fan spins faster to cool your processor, therefore more noise!

Answer 2

Get a new fan. It may not be enough for your CPU.  It may be gunked up with dust and debris- better yet open the CPU up and blast it with air to clean it. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

It's perfectly normal for your computer to dynamically increase the speed of the fans inside your computer during CPU and GPU intensive operations.

Unless it sounds particularly bad (read broken), I wouldn't be concerned.

Answer 4

It's probably about to blow up. Duh.

Answer 5

mine too!   mies a dell, I don't think thats necessarily bad though.  I heard some comps are just louder than others

Answer 6

The only moving part in a computer is the hard drive or CD player or fan

It sounds as if your game is either hard drive or CD player intensive

Max out your RAM as a start, because you do not have near enough

Answer 7

it's working about as hard as it will

Answer 8

That noise is the fan
