When they do what they're supposed to do, they're absolutely wonderful. When they develop weird noises ... eh, not so much.Such was the condition of my computer tonight - it sounded like it was either going to blow up or become airborne any second! After a call to my computer whiz kid, we think we know what the issue may be (a dusty over-heated fan) and will know more when Lew takes a look-see ... I hope.

hoping your computer is better soon.
I have become so dependent on my computer!! I hate and feel tons of withdrawl when it is not working right.
I hope it's just the dirt on the fan. More often than not, at our house, it is the power supply going out. We have several computers, and have for years (we run our own website), and we've had to replace at least 3 power supplies in the last few years. They're just mechanical and burn out. A loud noise from the fan like a jet taking off is often a first sign here... could be our extreme heat also. We seem to lose them in the dead of summer!
Hope it is all fixed soon, and you have a great weekend :)
Our computer was doing that, too, and yes, it was just dust on the fan. Ours has an easy access side panel, and we now keep our extra balloon pumps (they blow air continuously as they're pumped) and clear it out every now and then.
The air bulb for blowing dust off a camera lens works well, too.

Ugh. I hope you get it working in tip top shape with minimal effort!
