yeh i have a packard bell computer, specs are - p4 2.93ghz processor, 512mb ram, 128mb ati graphics card, 160gb hdd, why does my computer make so much noise, if i was to buy something would i need a fan or a cooler, sorry if its a noob question
The noise is more than likely comming from one of your fans open your case and locate the offending fan and enquire about more silent one from your local computer shop
i checked where the noise is coming from, it is not coming from the power unit fan (or watever it is called) its coming from below it where there is a smaller fan (im not sure what this is called)
ddp i think you are right and it is the cpu fan, since my comp makes so much noise would i need a new fan or a cooler or a heAt sink could you recomend a trustable site to buy what i need, thnx agen
im relly sorry to double post, but theres another thing, sometimes my computer just randomly turns off. is this in anyway connected to my noise problem
possibly a heat problem. check in bios under hardware monitor or something like that to see what the temp is. check your local computer store to see what cpu heatsink/fan fits your board. remember to get 1 for p4 not amd!
well i know that my socket is a 775 and ive seen a relly good one http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=16522 is there a prog to check your temp and bios info ( apart from MbM5 as it does not support my NEC mobo)
the Nec motherboard info i got from CPU-Z it said my mobo was : Nec Computer International - model: GA-81915PM this motherboard is not supported by MBM5, and is there prog to check out your bios info out or to check out your temperature thnx once again, you've been ultra helpful if need be i can post a jpeg image to you of what the fan looks like and where is so that way you can give me your professional view
