Open it up and see where the noise is coming from.

Could be a fan problem, or a hard drive on its last legs.

oh feck man, this is so damn funny! laughing out loud

anyway, what kind of noises? every pc makes noses, being it the fan or the dvd-rw reading a disc or something.

of course, if you know it's not that, it could be in example the wiring or the HD's/DVD-RW's/ ... and then you indeed have to open up your buddy

Your hard drive is dying. I would backup your important stuff. It probably only has a few more days before it dies fully.

A friend o fmine once told me that the fan in his PC had come off, and when it was spinning round, it physically chopped his harddrive to pieces.

OMG Jeremy, I started cracking up when I read the title...

7 years old? Yeah, that sucker's pretty old...

(and in my experience, kicking the computer tends to solve most problems wink)

Mine used to make a kind of buzzy sound. Then i checked the fan, and thought "holy sh*t!", it was all covered in dust and small pieces of cloth, wood, and no expression. I havent checked it since i bought it.
