computer makes loud noise and lags.
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 |

The processor is going into a slower mode to keep from making so much heat. The faster the processor runs or the more load it has on it the hotter it gets. If the fans have collected junk on the blades or there is a layer of dust on the cooling fins the processor will overheat. Turn off the computer, open the case (if desktop) and after grounding yourself to the metal case blow out the junk collected in it. Also carefully wipe the fins on the processor cooling fan (if equipped.) If laptop I recommend taking to a reputable repair shop to open it up and clean it out. Big box stores and geek squad types of places are NOT reputable for working on computers. |

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 |

It seems that it is running too hot.
The fans then run at full speed and the CPU slows down. BUT that is if your computer supports that feature. "nooger" a écrit dans le message de groupe de discussion : ...

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 ...
