You have an ungrounded ball bearing problem.

Cleaning fans doesn't always quiet them down. I've had tons of fans get off-balance, and they make some pretty horrid noises. Fans are pretty cheap, so you could try simply replacing them to see if that works. Also, depending on the model of video card, you could get a 3rd party cooling solution for it, which would replace the fan and give you better cooling.

That sounds like a fan. Try unplugging the fans one by one until you find the noisy one. You can do this while it's running, it's not going to hurt anything.

Or it could be the power supply. Try jabbing a fork in it while standing in a bucket of water.

Update:

It's the video card. Out of curiosity I gently tapped on it and the buzzing sound changed. This supports the fact that the computer was not noisy when I bought it. I think the noise came into play when I swapped out the video card for a worse one. Reverting...

Get a long extension cord and just put the computer in a closet down the hall.

I don't think it's a fan. My experience with fans in the New York area is that they sound more like, "Boooo! BOOOOOO!!! You suck, A Rod!!!!"

@KChiki:

I am shamed. I need to rectify this.

@Pram:

Go to the store and grab a pack of Juicy Fruit. Chew all of it. Get some Duct Tape while you're there. Open your computer with a Swiss Army Knife. Using a magnifying glass, focus sunlight over the cords from your video card to melt the insulation on them. Tie all of the bare wires together and tape them up. Take the entire wad of Juicy Fruit and jam it into your CPU cooler. Grow a blonde mullet and bang hot chicks. Mission accomplished.

It was a bad video card. I've been working on it all morning and afternoon. Problem is, because Microsoft are greedy nightgown fags, removing two components and replacing them with components that suck less constituted as an invalidation of my copy of Windows. Tried recovering from HP's backup... Got stuck in an endless loop of boot and boot-fail.

What finally worked was restoring the greatgrandmother-Froster to its original factory settings, which means that I lost my C drive and everything on it and figuratively got a new C drive, which, as far as I'm concerned, is now a C MINUS DRIVE.

All of this was very stressful and if anything good came of it, I will never know for I have blocked all emotion and am now Bender.

Oh, and I just lost my film if Micro#$^$#^ Backup doesn't recover the files.

"Insert Media #2" is a piss poor excuse for Frost-ing up the recovery process.

Thank God Microsoft is not responsible for hospital computers, because this kind of Shakespeare was allowed fly, doctors would'nt be able to operate because they didn't know what the Frost Media #2 is, or why their computer needed it to run the bone saw.

I believe the correct tense is twat. Even if you're wrong it still works.

You know Pram, you could have put in a different hard-drive and then tried to install a new OS, and then not had to worry about losing all the contents of your original drive.

HOLY Frost-ing ShakespeareBALLS, I just realized everything was kept safe on drive D during the reformat of C. I didn't lose anything... It's a miracle. I may become a Christian over this (from Catholic to Atheist). It's like a reboot... A reboot of perspective! Maybe I'll even be New Age!

My computer got really loud for 48 hours because the air conditioner in my house broke and it was like 120 degrees up in hurr.

Dearest Blobster,

I am sending my penis FedEx to condition you out of the senation of choking on your Dad's schlong. Whenever you feel a ghost sensation of it in your throat, choke on this one instead.

If you send it back, you pay for shipping.

Also, to get around the legalities of sending a man's Coleridge through the mail, I have taken the liberties of weighing it down with a washing machine, the side of which I have taped it to.

Regards,

Pram

PS: If you want to slip it in your vag, you can do that too. As long as it is frozen, it won't fall apart inside of you.
