It could be the PSU fan which would be hard to check but they aren't hard to get out as they are often held onto the chasis by 4 screws and then you just unplug the leads from the board and peripherals  Doesn't take long and you can get replacements nice and cheap now. |
The pc is only well, not even a year old! But ive made frequent posts about it on the forum about its weird beepings and goings on, maybe its just a noisy pc! I got it in late summer last year.
Maplins it is then on the way home! I think i might have to nip into the place i bought i from for a cpu fan, the maplins near me is the only other pc shop and its quite small and only have a small range of fans, and none of them look like mine
I've dismantled my pc's before when changeing cases and things and getting the power supply out is easy, its those silly plugs everything connected to i cant remove, i'd be useless if i lived on my own!
One More question, i need my c/w off it, if it is the cpu fan can i turn it on and copy my work off it onto another pc in the network, without my pc blowing up or something?
Thank you very much again!
