Help! Computer Noises!

Haucusuchus · September 16th, 2003

My computer is making weird noises! every so often, it will begin a barrage of clicking in random order. Also, sometimes it makes a soft sound like a vehicle hitting something. What are these!!!???

make sure there's nothing loose in your case, and the clicking noise could be from your hard drive

Wow that was fast! I'm pretty sure its not the hard drive, but there are some loose wires that were supposed to connect to the motherboard but didn't have space (You know, the ones that are attached to the case).

well tuck those wires somewhere, get some twist ties and tie some wires together, this will keep it more organized.

i hate it when the HD clicks. it scares me......

The wires are actually tucked away in a hole on the side of the case, away from the mobo and important stuff, and since they are not powered, they shouldn't be making noise! And what about the truck sounds?

The Hard drive clicks? since when?(my old one did not do this)

the clicking noise happens to hard drives a lot cuz of bad sectors, I should kno happened to me on my old hdd

The "truck noise" could be your CD or DVD ROM drive spinning up.

also...after time the CPU FAN gets old and just hums loudly...

My CPU fan can't be old, I just bought it and the processor 3 weeks ago!

And the truck noises seem to be coming from deep within the computer, while my DVD roms are not active at all.
