Hi! First of all, excuse my bad english =)
Aight, I got Compaq Presario 8000, and here is my problem: When I do something that really needs a lot of work from my computer, like playing a game in pretty high resolution, a loud and noisy system fan all of a sudden starts.
Well at least I think its the system fan. It could be some other fan too, like the cpu-fan for instance. But that doesnt make any sense. I could for instance be rendering images in 3D-programs for hours, processes that demand 100% CPU-power all the time, without hearing that fan.
So my guess is that it is some kind of system fan. All it needs is that the videocard and the cpu becomes a little extra hot (like in the games) and that darn fan will set off. But thats not the real problem...
The real problem is that when the fan sets off, all the game stops for a short time, and I SUDDENLY hear this very loud and scary sound from all of my four speakers (including the subwoofer.... and believe me that scares the hell out of you!!), and then the games go back to normal but you will still have to endure the sound of the fan for another 1-2 minutes. And guess what happens when it has finnished? Yeah, the game will once again stop for a moment and you will hear that extremly annoying sound again. And all of this will happen shortly again.
I really need help over here and wanna now how I can shut this thing off? Is this procedure necessary or is it only compaq that has once again scrued up?
Thanks for all help!
