My computer has started making strange sounds. Right now it sounds like someone is using a gas powered leaf blower, only not so loud. Maybe a leaf blower down the street. It also sounds like the leaf blower is running out of gas. It sputters a bit before making a strained whining sound again. This can't be good. So, if you guys don't see me around, it's cuz my computer has died.

Sounds to me that it is probalby the cd-rom or power supply. It could also be a fan inside (really cheap to fix--$5 or so on newegg). Hard drives usually make a clicking noise when they go bad but not always. Either way, hard drive or CDRom-you are looking at less than $50 to fix.
Follow Black's advice to pinpoint what it is before it gets too bad and ruins everthing. --------------------  "Difficulties come and they pass, but it is a shame that sometimes these difficulties must pass like diarrhea" |
