Very loud noise coming from computer
    #5446369 - 03/27/06 06:13 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

It's not any of the fans inside either, I'm positive of that.
For a while I have been thinking it's either the power supply or the HD.
Are power supplies even really known to make a steady loud noise?
I've heard of HD's making a noise similar to what mine makes.
The computer was practically silent when it was brand new.
This noise is hard to describe - it's really much louder than just a noisy old computer. It sounds like something in there is dying :lol:

Unplug the power connector from the hard drive while the computer is off (and unplugged). Next plug the computer in and turn it on. If the noise is gone, then you know it was the hard drive.

Remember, the computer wont boot until you replace power to the hard drive. Be sure to unplug the computer before playing around with any components.

If the noise is gone, then you know it was the hard drive.

Older hard drives with ball bearings are notorious for getting noisy as they age. Newer drives use fluid bearings that, in practice, can never wear out.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

It wasn't the HD after all, I'm pretty sure the noise it coming from the power supply.. pretty weird. I guess I have to get it replaced. :shrug:

If there are any wires near any of the fans, make sure they can't possibly touch the fan.

I've had stray wires touching the fan before and it just makes weird noises!

That would suck to have a wire hitting a fan.. I'm pretty sure that most of the wires in there are out of harms way though.
I think it is an electrical hazard to leave it running right now.. :shocked:
