I had something like this where I had to pick it up shake it gently to stop it from sounding like a truck idling. I checked all the fans, couldn't figure out. Turned out a couple of motherboard screws were loose.
my first hdd has the click of death for 3 years now.
im getting used to it.

Happens to me often. Fucking leg bumping into the case.

>>315381272
I found this usually caused by the case not screwed properly. Making vibrating noises from the fan.

my old computer had a problem where essentially the cpu fan would flat out stop spinning if room temperature was low enough. for example, if its winter and its cold outside, and i open the window to let some air in, the fan would just stop, and the computer would do the
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
continuously until the fan started working again. so what i had to do, for several years, whenever i turned the computer on, or opened the window, was to start spinning the fan manually with my fingers until it decides to start working. got my fingers hit like a hundred times by that faulty piece of shit.

This is excatly that kind of shit why I switched to consoles.
>>315382279

>actually defending having to manually start a fan for 5 years instead of just fixing it
>>315381272
Every single time I start the computer it goes VVVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR until I kick it hard, really hard, just once. Then it stops, until the next time I turn it off and on again.
>>315382574
thats the pc's internal heater. it has to keep it from getting too cold.
people don't really know this but pcs have to work harder to heat themselves than to cool themselves, thus the loud whirring.
>>315382675
For real, that's a $20 fix.
>>315382676
>check which fan is it by manually stopping them one by one.
check if it's not obstructed by any cable.

Consoles have problems that the manufacturers do not address. Just like PC's they get filled with dust. The heatsink and fans get a lot of dust in them over time causing over heating problems. Instead of being easy to open the console for cleaning purposes they make it hard as fuck so modders can't easily access the internals. Pretty much just fucking over everyone.

This is why I said fuck it and spent the extra couple hundred bucks for alienware to do it for me.

They're made of thousands of individual components, each needs to be in working order, or the chain breaks and the machine fails. Even if everything works okay to begin with, time and excess heat puts stress on the components until something fails. Keeping your air vents clear and removing the layer of dust that builds up between the heaksink and fan will go a certain way in reducing this stress, but nothing lasts forever.

>>315382276
I think his PC is doing a good job at that already
>>315381272
when I was really little my first PC did that, you had to press against the side panel of the case or it would hum like crazy

My SSD is not fixated inside my computer, it actually just kinda lies around with a cable stuck between case and the inner structure so it doesn't have wiggle room

I actually had this happen to my old PC before.
I finally took the PSU out and noticed that over the years of it almost always being on, the fans just couldnt keep up with the temperature and the fan blades start to melt a bit and warped the blades to the point where the fan was off balance and sometimes striking the base.
You'd be surprised how hot those PSUs can get when you have a few hundred watts of power running through them.
When I got my new PC, first thing I did was install some Noctua fans in it and make sure all the wires were away from the main board.
>>315386654
Nah that's fine as long as you don't move the case much. It's pretty much just a flash drive plugged in to your motherboard.

If it ever turns off, it takes between twenty-forty minutes to boot up again because it keeps boot-cycling for some reason. I've been told it was a HDD issue, a memory issue, a temperature issue etc. and everything I've replaced didn't fix it.
Now it just stays on all the time, it's not like I'm suddenly not going to use it one day or anything.

What the fuck does RAM have to do with booting?
The computer is taking 20 minutes to sort through a fragmented shitty tiny drive to piece together all the files it needs to boot. You've just forgotten what it's like to have a drive under a terabyte.

Install a lightweight linux distro. It's absolutely, completely, positively retarded to run Binbows on that piece of shit.

I actually ran the program in this post >>315387442
from a friend's advice and my health status is good so who knows. I'm sure it's because of my HDD being a few years old or something. I really need to blow the dust and shit out of my computer too.
>>315387081
Smaller size means more inner temperature if you don't have a good fan
>>315387438
that's not how 7 operates, at all.
the machine can't buffer the OS, min secs for 7 is 2g
plus you don't know what the fuck he has booting with the OS, he could have fucking bonzi buddy for all you know
>>315387442
Will do anon. Hopefully I can get to my computer before 404, I want to post results.

Why is my computer(fan) so fucking loud and "metallic" sounding when I start it up after it has been shut down while I sleep. Is it because it's cold?
>>315387340
is it just the browser that locks up or everything?
you using firefox?
>>315387810
Browser.
Yes.

Is this right /v/? Do HDDs go on low-consumption mode if you don't use them often?

Uh, where would I go to turn that on/off? (Probably not)

i put up with it for a few months before i finally just bought a new fan for it

it should be fucking criminal to ship components with shitty fans like that
>>315387885
HDDs spin down if you don't use them yes, you can set it up in Windows if you don't want them to do it.

How can you expect anyone to love you if you don't love yourself, anon?
>>315388189
Oh. Yeah it's turned on. Should I turn it off?
>computer goes BVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

why did this happen /vee/
>>315387081
>lifespan
Do you think vertical standing mobos just snap after a few years?
Or how do you think it affects the lifespan of it?
mITX cases are slightly hotter, which does affect the lifespan of components in a very very meager way unless you actually plan to use them for decades.

Kicking the case seems to be the most common solution to PC problems.
Also it works more often than it should.
>>315388253
yeah, go ahead and turn it off and see if it helps.
it will put a larger strain on your CPU for HD video though so be warned you may run into some lag on youtube if you go above 720

I want an SSD /v/
Should I get one before or after I upgrade my GPU?
Only have enough money for one at a time
>>315388269
loose drive bay placeholder, put a penny or a small piece of paper between the slits.

Alright. I have a feeling it won't change anything because this has never been a problem up until about a week and a half ago but I'll give it a shot.
>>315388383
SSD for sure. It's a relatively huge upgrade over a standard drive.
Jesus fuck this thread proves that /v/ is a bunch of incompetent fucks playing dota2 and csgo on their shittastic computers.
>hurr my pc is freezing wat is the problem
Take it to geeksquad they'll help you out, or better yet sell it and embrace your consolefaggotry.

>>315388383
you don't need to update your GPU
>>315388151
This, my animu drive spins down all the time since I literally only keep anime on it. I don't find it too annoying though since I only watch stuff a few times a day at most.
>>315388346
At this point it doesn't matter, all SSDs support the more important features and are using safe chipsets, and the speed increase often doesn't really affect performance .
Just treat it as you would treat any other HDD.
