Alright all you computer technicians, move over.......

[Yeeny]

Because I am coming to take your place! My computer keeps making funny noises in the tower, like it's vibrating, and I discovered if I kick it gently, it stops! See what I have learned from being here?

Actually though, that's probably not good, is it. Oh well, I just hope it hangs on until after Christmas when I can get my new one.

Wow GF, good job!

/me bows down to the new mistress of computer hardware

 

[Sephiroth_IX]

GF - get a can of compressed air, pop the hood, and spray out the fans.

Your problem will be solved.



BTW - good detective work, sparky!

[insert reference to Private Parts (the movie)]

It's vibrating? Isn't that a good thing?

 

[Yeeny]

Thanks Seph, I will try that!

prodigy, I don't plan on sitting on it, so no, it's not a good thing.

 

[ManSnake]

LOL, ur a true 'puter techie!

 

[snow patrol]

It's prolly a fan issue. Try kicking harder and maybe it will go away for good. If that fails, try trowing your PC across the room - or - if needs be, out of the window onto the pavement.

Thanks prodigy69, I now have a mental image of GirlFriday straddling her PC whilst talking to Howerd Stern firmly embedded in my mind's eye.

 

[IBhacknU]

no need to buy some canned air.... give those fans a blow yourself GF :Q

j/k , as I know where this is going

 

[ultravox]

Must be a stray bobby pin.....

 

[pac1085]

Haha...its a fan...had the same problem in an 'ol 486...i had to bang on it for the noise to go away...replace the fan and you should be set

 

[Yeeny]

snow patrol: ROFL! Not a pretty picture, is it?

ultravox: Hahaha, very funny mister!

Paulson: If my hard drive dies, I am going to come to Minnesota and personally beat the snot out of you mister!

 

[snow patrol]

Can I come? Please?

 

[snow patrol]

lol, nut cup. I suppose that's one way to avoid her 'advances'.

 

[Yeeny]

snow patrol, you sure can, as long as you promise not to have that image of me on the drive...

Paulson: You won't need that, I just plan on beating you over the head with your Compaq.

 

[ltk007]

Paulson has nuts????

Woah, my world has been shattered. I'm so disallusioned. What is male, what is female...

 

[Rakkis]

it might be a cable (ie power or ide) hitting the fan as it rotates. open the case and either fold it out of the way our use a zip tie or something

edit: [typo fix]

 

[Yeeny]

Paulson, I don't know, I don't think I could handle all that power.

 

[Mday]

what kind of vibrating?

it could mean trouble.

why christmas?

 

[Pretender]

It's vibrating?

I think we know where your significant other is hiding your christmas present.
