… shut the motherfucking hell up! Just stop it. Now!!! If not, I will take your Acer piece of stinky shit, and stuff it up your ever-loving Acer ass. Either that, or I will fucking kill myself. But seriously, what the fuck is going on here? It’s whining like my last girlfriend when I didn’t fuck her ass hard and fast enough. Ah, screw it, I can’t think of any more insults that wouldn’t get me banned from here. I am now going to take my crappy Acer computer, with fuck-all crappy Vista, and hurl it out the fucking window. Nice knowing you all…
For some reason my Dell fan gets really loud and annoying too. I don’t know what thats about.
It’s a laptop, right? Sounds like it’s overheating. A quick blast of compressed air should clean out the dust nicely.
Doesn’t sound like anything that a good, hard smack couldn’t fix.
Note: The above is not to be construed as actual advice. While there is a chance it would work, there is an equal or better chance you’ll just fuck shit up royally. Violence and technology do not make good bedfellows.
Make sure nothing’s loose. And along with the compressed air suggestion, check the airflow and your thermostat. If the room’s too warm it may not be able to cool itself efficiently.
It’s not a laptop. My room stays around seventy-five in the winter. I assume I should blast the fan with the compressed air?
Is there a heating vent that’s blowing directly on the computer?
Anytime my computer starts making unseemly noises I just open her up and do some dust removal maintenance. Some compressed air, light vacuuming, a little alcohol and q-tip for the hard to reach spots, and the noise invariably goes away.
The fan on my Dell desktop (Dimension 8300) sounded like a jet engine spinning up. It was incredibly loud. I kept meaning to replace it, but never got around to it.
Luckily, it forced my hand when it died about 12 months after i got the computer. I replaced it with a $10 aftermarket fan, which i can hardly hear at all, and which has run flawlessly for the last 3+ years.
No.
I would think that if it’s dust and such, it would make this sound all the time, but it doesn’t. It’s somewhat random. I just checked resource manager and Opera is running at 33% CPU. Is this why the fan is running so fast? Yeah, I think that’s it. Opera went down to around 5%, and the fan stopped. But Opera wasn’t doing anything. Beats me.
Don’t diddle the fan and maybe it won’t sound like your girlfriend.
It worked for Arthur Fonzerelli, but granted, it was a jukebox.
