*** **** this place *****

I've edited your last post due to the language used. Are you that impatient? Please refrain from swearing. First warning.

Hard disks don't usually have fans on them. Might it be your CPU, graphics card, or power supply fan that's making noise?

Please post some specs on your system. If it's a "brand name" system, the make/model number would help.

hm well my language wasn't THAT bad it was pretty bad though i admit sorry. you guys just take really long to reply. uh its a dell dim4700. cpu 2.80GHz, 504mb of ram. and got any ideas why my programs wouldnt run? like my anti-spy + my game counterstrike : source?

you guys just take really long to reply

We are all just volunteers here - helping out in our "spare" time, taking away from our own families and responsibilities - for free. Perhaps that is something you should remember next time you start demanding help. You got a response in less than 8 hours on a Sunday. Not bad.

I agree with Dan - hard drives don't have fans. If it really is the hard drive that is making really loud noises, I would say the motor bearing are about to fail. I suggest you back up any critical data you have on the drive - now.

As Dan suggested, you need to verify where noise is coming from. Pop open the side of the case and check . The nice thing about fans is you can momentarily touch the center hub of the fan causing it to slow down a bit. If that fan is making the loud noises, you will know immediately because the pitch of the noise will change.

While in there make sure the system is clean of heat trapping dirt.

I also suggest you run through Cleaning Out Malware.

yeah i tried that. my bad guys i didn't know you guys used ur spare time.. i thought u guys work online. sorrrry.. i am really impatient too. my bad. thanks guys. but uh i tried popping it opened nothing happened. like i cleaned out all the dust and stuff but nothing was happening. i didnt see any fans whatsoever. malware's the only thing u reccomend me to do? is that the reason why i cant open programs?

i didnt see any fans whatsoever

Huh? Is this a PC? You should at least have 1 fan on your CPU. Hopefully you will have a case fan, and your PSU should have a fan too - unless this is a laptop.

You tried what? Can you run the anti-malware programs in that link?

Note I can appreciate your impatience - no one likes for their computer to not be working. Do note that most forums are staffed by volunteers.

yeah sorry i didn't know they were volunteers. uhh what can i clean out malware with?

uhh what can i clean out malware with?

Ummm, did you look at that link I provided in my first post above?
