yes i ocassionallly have similar problems, orginating from the fan housed in the power box.

my pc is always 55 degrees c and above and recently added a new fan so now it's always about 47-48.

sometimes when I boot up i can hear terrible grinding sounds from my power fan...probably wearing down from all the heat but my computer is still relatively new however i do keep it on 24/7

Oh.. Opps.. Didn't check. The computer isn't dead. The processor is Intel Celeron.

It's like a small little weird sound. Can't describe it. It's not beeping or clicking. Sounds like a fan though.

Are you missing any small pets?

As was said, it's probably a fan. You're still being very vague in your description though. Take the side off your case and listen to where/what the noise is coming from; shouldn't be that hard to work out. It'll be either the CPU, GPU or the PSU fans, or the hard drive, or maybe even an unhealthy cd drive spinning up.

Do some investigating.

Hmm.. Sounds gone... Wait it's back now. I have to find out what it is!

That's funny, I didn't hear it this time.

Sneaky little devil, ain't it?

I think I heard it but is seems to have stopped.

Jokes aside. What are you trying to do, get us pissed off?

Tell us what it is.

I've got an old 933 does that starts up sounding like a lear jet then after 10 minutes settles down, in my case its the cpu fan, god knows why, maybe it likes to be warm, If the noise is coming from the cpu either get a new psu or install a new fan, or just forget about it and leave it on.

Unfortunately my cpu fan on the amd 2000 didn't have the decency to make a noise, just died a quiet death and took the cpu with it!
