My newly purchased PC have recently started making grinding noises now and again, it's not a constant thing but it still worries me a lot when i hear it. I've checked and no cables are hitting any fan or something like that.
Grinding noises. Either a fan or a hard drive.
A rolled up piece of paper held to your ear may help localize what it is.
Then it should be my hard drive right? I have 2 case fans and a CPU fan and they all look fine, nothing is blocking them. So what should i do if it is my hard drive? I also have a SSD, could it be that one?
Looking fine is not the same as
being fine.
Could be a fan bearing going bad.
And no, it's not the SSD. That has no moving parts.
You need to determine the actual part making the noise.
