annoying noise in my monitor
blubug:
My sister's computer was launching like an aircraft, if she turned it on at night, I could hear the fan from upstairs. And as it was a year-old dell, we were afraid to open it up and break the sticker, losing our guarantee. So I told her to stop hitting it and vacuum the fans from whatever cavity she could find in the tower and it worked! The dust must be sifted to somewhere else in the tower though, I can't imagine such powerful suction!
In my case (in my computer) I found out that one of the extra cables from the power unit was touching the cpu fan, and that was making a terrible rattling noise- easily fixed. And one time, I had left the side cover of the tower not completely locked into place, and it was rattling soo bad. That was easy too. I keep my fans very clean too. :)

I have an old hard disk that makes an annoying churning sound sometimes. A light thump on the side of the cabinet makes it stop.
Don't underestimate the value of a good thump.
In fact, my comouter responds very well to abuse. I have an on-board network card that would not activate, no matter what I did to it in bios and windoze, in the end I gave up and put in an old card. Two months later the main fuse on our floor blew and when the computer booted back up; lo and behold; there was the network card.

If your hard drive is making funny noises, this tends to be the sign of impending failure. I advise against putting anything valuable there. In fact, if your hard drive is making funny noises while NEW, bitch at the manufacturer right away while it's still under warranty.

It's an old disk. I don't have anything important on it, it's just where I store my temporary swag and install files.
My new disk is nice and quiet. I never throw away a disk unless it goes tick-tick-tick and don't read data, there's always some unimportant shit you can put on it.

Ok, so I've opened my pc up and saw no wires on the fans,
I'd turned it on, noise is there, I heard the noise near my sound, internet and Graphics card, I've touched the edge of the graphics card and noticed that its vibrating while the others are not.
I think I might need a new graphics card or something, I think the graphic cards fan isn't working
