hey everyone I'm having a bit of a problem with my pc and it's basically this: My computer freezes about 2 to 4 hours while it's on, I usually know it's about to happen when i see the "busy/load light" come on and stay on, now before anyone tells me to read anything...I already checked out the site and saw a few things that I tried which unforuntatly didn't work. But that's not my problem because I know i can just use a drive scrubber and i'm pretty positive the problem with go away. My problem is this noise coming from inside my tower, I think it's my fan but i'm not sure and i'm not gonna take the fan out because knowing my luck if i do that i'll somehow screw up my computer. Anyways I was wondering if there is a solution for the noise, and yea i checked the fan and moved around some wires, I cleaned out the dust, sprayed air in the fan and even have one of my house fans blowing into the tower. And you guessed it...still the noise, I wanna do every possible action before I have to take it into the shop or get a new fan so any help would be helpful. And if anyone has any idea on what to do about my pc freezing, please let me know. Like i said i tried some things that didn't work but who knows maybe someone else can help me.

If the fan stops, the cpu will get hot & freeze. It could be the Hard drive making a noise. Get a disk utility from the manufacturers website. Could the noise be the power supply fan? On the otherhand, the noise might not be a problem, it could be there are too many programs running. Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

Dont use oil on the fan,use that white grease stuff.

Dave The Snakes I'm curious, what white grease stuff? You don't mean heatsink/thermal compound. Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

Knowing Dave the Snake he probably does. I have used light machine oil on sticky fans to good effect many times. Just don't overdo it, one or two drop sis enough. Stuart

i don't think it's the power supply fan or the harddrive making a noise and I also think I don't overdo it with the programs, I'll maybe try disconnecting the pc and looking at from a better view who knows i may fix the noise lol thanks for everyones help
