Have your pcs' ever done this?
 

Everyonce in a while, one of my comps starts buzzing at the office when I turn in on and does not stop untill I turn it off. I open the pc up and I have no idea where the buzzing is comming from. The heat sink fan is working fine, and all the other fans are working fine also. Any A++ gurus?

Could be your harddrive.

Just kick the computer case and it should stop...at least thats what i do.

Its 7:00 am and I am sitting at the office tring to figure out what the buzz noise is and refreshing gfy to find a banner that I missed. Dont you hate the unproductive days?

I'd go nuts until I found where the buzzing was coming from. :2 cents:

My motherboard's fan is broken, and it makes annoying noise.

Soon you wish it would be making noise.

haha thats what I do to :1orglaugh

I am pretty sure it has to do with the harddrive. I am going to run a backup of the pc, and then start kicking it.

My computer does the same.
But I don't think it's because of the harddrive.
On this computer it's when i leave a cd in the cd player.

its not the cd rom drive for me, I am sure its the harddrive . I am going to go pickup something from the computer store today. I searched online and found some tools that people in the recording world use to keep their pc's quiet.

unplug everything that requires power from a wire and turn on power.

If you still hear it then its the power supply fan.

good idea.

While your system is still functioning, do a thorough backup and verify the backup.

Then resume tinkering...

yep, mostly likle a dirty fan

:helpme

PS Fan... smack the tower right above the fan. Should fix it

Nope never :helpme

its the CPU fan, had that prob before.

or perhaps its you videocard fan..

Sounds like your harddrive. In my experience get ready for a crash

yess!!.... i just kick it... and done! no sounds :1orglaugh

turn off the pc, unplug all the fans then turn it back on. If the buzzing is still there then you'll know for sure that's it's not any of the fans (only one you can't unplug is the powersupply one)


Then listen very carefully insinde the case so you can pinpoint the origin of the buzzing.
