Hello everyone,
My computer recently started to make an odd buzzing noise which keep becoming louder and louder. I am fairly certain that the source is one of the fans and most likely, from what I can tell, the CPU fan. That assumption is founded on the fact that the sound is not constant, sometimes it is louder and sometimes it is much more subtle, which would be consistent with a temperature controlled CPU fan, would it not, as it suggests that the sound is increasing in volume whenever the fan speeds up and vice versa. But it is rather difficult to pinpoint and confirm where the sound is coming from by listening and I cannot be sure that my assumption is correct. As I understand I could verify by simply stopping the fans one at a time. The thing is, though, that I have no idea how to do that, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I have opened the casing to make sure that no cord or anything else is lying against any of the fans, so it is not that which makes the peculiar noise. Perhaps I should also mention that I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to the hardware side of computers.
Many thanks in advance,
//Nils
