Argh!

Last night around 3:45 (about 20-30 minutes after I fell asleep) I was awakened by a loud buzzing. I traced it to the computer. It's a steady, loud buzz whenever it's on. ARGH! WTF?

ANd it seemed that the computer had rebooted itself as well, which meant the power must have gone off, even though my alarm clock, television, and VCR remained fine. I rebooted at least 4 times, checked for viruses, then finally turned the thing off.

Now it's been on for a few minutes and the pitch of the buzz just raised. But otherwise, still buzzing. Ahhhh! *cries* Poor computer!

Anyone have any experience with CPU's buzzing? I did some searches which resulted in "it could be anything" sorts of answers. This is so not good. I hope I don't come home to find the whole thing fried.

I just wish it had chosen some other time to go kaplooey on me.

That happened to me.. something to do with the fan-thingie inside. I'm the wrong person to ask! I know nothing about computers! I hope yours feels better. :)

That's what it was with mine, too. The little cooling fan inside was about to bite the big one. If yours does die, you could find your motherboard fried, so it might not be a bad idea to keep the compy booted down until you check it out. Mine was about $60 to replace, but that's in the Midwest. Good luck!
