fan noise

[Adam]

well this problem is with my familys computer, as i am too lazy to go buy my router for mine, but sometimes the fan just makes this ridiculously annoying noise and after awhile i get pissed off and just pucnh my computer. it stops the noise. you guys think i should just get an air can and clean the back?

[Samuel]

Don't need an air can. Just get some type of blowing device. (Like a tire inflator, shop vac, you get the idea). Then just blow out all the dust in your case. It does help alot

Most probably a shot bearing in the fan, it happens pretty regularly. If cleaning it with air doesn't fix your problem then just pick up a new case fan. They're pretty cheap, like $20 for a good one.

Do what i do, keep kicking it untill it falls off

I am not liable if it kills you o electricutes you :mellow:

But seriously when mine does that i just give it a helll of a boot and it works, makes me pc faster to

I have that problem, I can't really be botherd to clean it, I just hit it and it stops to, or after awhile it just stops it's self.

I had that problem with my computer. The best solution is canned air. DO NOT USE A VACCUUM CLEANER. They create static electricity and your computer doesn't mix well with that. Read this CNet guide for more info:

Don't kick your fucking computer- use the compressed air or what BFG said.

i had the same exact problem
here is how to fix it im serious though
open your hand widely then pull it back a bit then give it a nice big wack on the top of the case i garuntee it will work if u do it right

You gotta replace the fan like Unit 43 said.

Get the thing what's arround your computer of(don't know what it is in English) and get out your vacuum cleaner... I had this problem a while ago, and I vacuumed :P the whole thing (my ventilator works again :P; nobody ever vacuumed it since 1998 :lol... It stopped making noise and it won't get too hot anymore :P


If the Void can't help ya, ask BFG for this computer tech help website... A great forum to discuss problems like this... I can't remember the address :blink:
