computer makes loud noise and lags.
Are you playing a game or using another very CPU and/or graphics card
application when this occurs? If a Laptop, is the laptop sitting on a hard flat surface so that the fans on the bottom can such air in and through the computer? If a laptop and you suspect that the fans on the bottom have become clogged I have found that I can such the dust out of the bottom fans with a vacuum cleaner. "nooger" wrote in message ... Sorry if this is the wrong section but, sometimes when im just on the computer my computer will make a noise. I really dont know how to describe the noise but its like when the fan in your room is turned to like extra fast. Whenever the noise comes my computer just starts to lag. Anyone know whats causing this?? Thanks -- nooger |

Don't know of anyone who would confuse a hard drive working hard with the
sound of a fan going really fast - as the O/P described. LVTravel posted the correct answer! -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience & Security "CrucialHoax" wrote in message ... It sounds to me that the noise your hearing is just the hard drive searching and it might be taking awhile to find what its looking for therefore the lag. Defrag the machine and see if it helps. start search cmd right click the icon choose run as admin accept the UAC prompt type in the command prompt window: defrag %systemdrive% -v -w press enter now let that run for awhile and then see if the problem persists... -- CrucialHoax |
