when i go to face book my hard drive or something revs up really fast and loud. is there any suggestions as to why or what to do?
 
Check where the sound is coming from. If you play Facebook games, but no other games, your computer could just be working harder to process the game data and speeding up the fans to keep cool. If your hard-drive is the one that spins up every time on Facebook, do a virus and malware scan. Good instructions are on the sticky post on the forum. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/242796-44-simple-free-guide-removing-malware
