Hi,
For the past month or so I have been hearing some starnge noises coming form my PC but only during startup, the sound can best be described as a loud whirring noise.
My mobo is an ABit A17 which has that uGuru inbuilt hardware monitoring chip, so I decided to see if it could find what was causing the noise. So I loaded up uGuru only for an alarming beep to be emitted from my PC's internal speaker. I checked the readings on uGuru and tempreture wise everything seems fine with my CPU at 35 to 45 degrees C consistentley. However the the CPU fan speed is showing in a red box which I assume is bad and reads 3000 RPM.
The CPU is a P4 2.4Ghz (HT enabled) and is fitted with the stock fan it came with.
So can anyone shed some light on this, do I need to replace the CPU fan pronto? and if I do can anyone recomend a good CPU cooler.
Thanks.
