My computer is making such a horrible noise and when I bang the tower drive at the top with my hand, the noise stops but after a few seconds it starts again. It gets really bad sometimes, like when the computer restarts automatically

There is this site that contains information in a foreign language. But on my laptop the characters don't show up, only little square boxes? I am wondering why I can read the site on my PC but not my laptop.

printer was working fine yesterday, and now all of a sudden I get an error message saying that it can't communicate with the computer. It appears to be off line, and the suggestions given on the error message say to log off and back on, check printer cable and USB port, and I have done those things, but it doesn't help. The website tells me to check and see if the firewall is blocking it, but I don't know where to find the firewall or if I even have one. (I'm not very computer knowledgeable) Can anyone help to get my printer functioning again? Ten points to the expert who can do it. Thanks so much!

My family has an emachine computer that is having problems. One day for some reason, the monitor stopped working when it was plugged in. The light on the monitor just stays orange, and never goes green or displays anything. I tried all the plugs to see if they were loose. I tried plugging in different monitors, and I get the same result. I also noticed that when the machine is turned on, I hear 3 successive beeps. This usually signals some sort of problem, but I can't get anything to display on the screen to see the problem! Can anyone help?
