I have an old, pre built Packard Bell iXtreme M3720 in which I have upgraded the motherboard, the RAM and the graphics card. You can see it in my signature.
Despite the low power draw of my PC and only the one CPU cooler fan, it makes a sound comparable to a jet engine starting when I boot up the PC. This sound can last all the way until I have been on the desktop for a few minutes, and it is so loud it can be heard next door through two solid walls.
It's been doing this for a while now, and I've got used to it, but our new neighbours are on the brink of smashing through the wall and demolishing my PC with a sledgehammer (their own words).
I have three fans running in my PC, the power supply, the CPU cooler and the graphics card fan. I can't find any evidence on any of the fans which might be causing the noise, and I wouldn't expect anything else to make that kind of noise.
Can someone help me please? It's starting to freak me out, it's almost like the computer is trying to explode!
