Sounds like the bearings are failing. You should replace the fan. They're cheap and easy to swap out.

A case fan, generally 80x80mm is easy to replace. It could have dust in the bearings or just need the mounting screws tightened. If it's the CPU fan that's making noise it could be more serious and should be handled by someone who knows their way around. Additionally, modern motherboard BIOS regulates the speed of the fan depending on the CPU/case temperatures. ie. if the CPU is running hotter for whatever reason, the CPU fan will spin faster/louder to cool it better. You should nail down which fan is making noise.

That appears like both a warmth sensor situation or probable motherboard subject matters. I had those subject matters with an Acer pc a pair years in the past and It replaced into the motherboard malfunctioning, the in reality fix replaced right into a sparkling motherboard. no matter if that's a Heating situation i'd receive a small software said as Coretemp and it really is going to tell your CPU temperature. no matter if that's examining abnormally intense numbers then you absolutely understand its a heating situation. are you able to manually positioned your pc into Standby at the same time as your performed so it would not turn itself off thoroughly?

Is it making a low-pitched "moaning" sound? If so, please replace it as soon as possible. I've been able to get a bit more use out of a fan by cleaning it and lubricating it with WD-40, but it still failed eventually. When you replace it, look for a 'ball bearing' type fan. They're a bit more expensive, but they last much longer than the 'sleeve bearing' type.

Replace the fan(s) that is making noise. If it is the power supply fan, replace your power supply. It is not complicated and you wont have to worry about a meltdown from a seized fan.

Dust.
turn off. pickup your fan . in the pack under the Lable you can put oil and then clean the dust then it works like new one.

It's probably full of dust, however, you don't want to stop the fan. Just get a new one quickly.

It's probably loose and vibrating. It's no big deal unless you don't tighten it, because then it'll shoot off and take out your computer. Get a screwdriver and tighten it.
