hello,
this is my first post so i hope you folks can lend me some help.
my PC has started to make a really shrill high pitched noise a bit like an alarm clock,
its starting to get worse- it had been an intermittant problem, happening every couple of weeks- but now it happens just about every time i use the PC.
i've posted a clip of the noise here:
http://livingtonerecordings.bravehost.com/it seems to be happening when-
accesing cd's
burning cdr's (usually as disc writing session is closing)
browsing the internet, particularly when roaming the bands on myspace
downloading big files
running a virus scan
so far i've figured out that it could be the hard drive, or perhaps a fan thats not working properly.
any ideas would be helpfull.
i'm currently toying with replacing the hard drive or adding an extra one- so if this is something simle to fix like a fan it would be super- if its something tragic i'll have to save my pennies for a new PC. (boo-hoo)
