computer keeps making a hard spinning sound

[dangerousmovingunit]

a: drive? does the light blink?

 

[Ku-sama]

CD/DVD drives do this alot, especially on boot

open the case, and try 2 pin point the noise. might be the HD.. or as Kusamsa said, the CD-Drive.

your ears are your best tool on this one. You could also unplug one drive at a time and boot up your comp and when it doesn't make the noise, whatever you have unplugged is your problem.

Check all the fans, sometimes the fan make crazy noise.
(dont ever try to stop ur CPU fan)

Why do you say that, doesn't matter if it is stopped momentarily just make sure its only for like a second or two.

What I mean is the CPU fan can be broke very easy. I have lot cases with broke fan. Plus, the rpm of cpu fan is veyr high, be careful with your finger if you try to stop.

Haha whatever works.

wow thats low. mine is at 2722 rpm

 

[Ku-sama]

well, my processor is at 81F and i have a 120mm fan on it, controlling it with ITE Smart Guardian to keep noise down (im running my 4000+ rig without a case mind you)

 

[gamerman4]

well when does this sound happen? Sometimes during boot the fans max out RPM for a couple seconds and then go back to normal. Ya and stopping a fan with ur finger may not be the best idea. I nearly chopped off a peice of my finger because of my huge Panaflow 120mm fan, these things are actually bigger than most 120mm fans, there are about 5-6mm thicker if i recall and it was cranked to max hehe, i had a nice gash for about a week before it healed.

 

[Ku-sama]

i know that SOME fans are dangerous, but not all... and i know the feeling, i broke my index finger on my 7000RPM 92mm fan.... i think i still hav the 'ol thing

 

[bball4life]

Ya I have gashed my fingers open a few times thanks to fans, but stopping it with your finger is fin, you just have to know how to do it, and if you finger is sliding of the middle then pull your finger out, you could probably stop it by pushing down on the middle with like an eraser instead of your finger, but then you might end up with little pieces of eraser all over your computer from the fan rubbing against it. Hmmm, what else could you do.
