About a week ago i turned on my computer and it started making this really loud noise like a motor was inside it and it seems to be getting louder everyday, and after that whenever i go to turn it off it says a fatal error has occured in the blue screen so i press any key and it turns off. and yesterday i went to turn it off, and it did the same thing, but after loads of dots came up on the screen and i couldnt do anything, what is wrong with my computer?

I think there is something wrong with the cooling system. It could be the pcu fan or the big fan on the front or back of your pc. You get to see the fatal error because perhaps the computer gets overheated and shut's it down before any damage can happen to motherboard, the processor or any other parts in the computer. The processor is a black kind of box with a small fan on it. If that doesn't work the processor can't work because of the heat. I think that's the problem

I would say that's your Hard Drive. It's made up of several circular platters spinning on a bearing inside a metal case. When the bearings start to go on the drive it will start to whine like a scooter. You might also hear a clunking sound which will be the needles that read from the drive struggling to pick up data.
BACK UP NOW! Save all your important data onto CDs or other media. Then replace your hard drive.
It has probably failed due to heat. If your HD is not properly cooled it's life will be reduced.

That swap instruments the ability provide for 100 and ten volts or 220 volts. in case you placed it incorrect the ability provide blows. it is less costly to interchange, inspite of the undeniable fact that, less than $one hundred - merely unplug the wires (remembering how those with the huge white connectors bypass), unscrew 4 screws, throw it out, placed the recent one in and connect the wires. those to the disk drives can bypass everywhere - they're all the same. the single with the 4 wires can in uncomplicated words bypass to at least one position. it is the huge one (or ones - each now and then that one is presented in 2 products) it is sweet to save in mind and replace properly. in case you've by no skill opened a pc formerly, replacing the ability provide might want to take you about 10 minutes. (merely have someone carry it once you're taking the screws out or it's going to fall. those 4 screws on the back of the computer are all that's preserving it in.)

I didn't read all of the answers, but I didn't see anyone suggest the fan inside the power supply. This is far more likely to have problems than the CPU fan. See if you can determine if the noise is coming from where the AC cord plugs in, or seemingly inside the computer.
If you have the technical ability to install expansion cards, you can probably replace the power supply successfully. Good luck!

Hmmm Virus Affecting Your Bootup....I'd Say Back Up Files, Defrag, Also Causing The Knocking Might Be A Wire Hitting Your CPU Fan..Hopefully...

It sounds to me like the hard disk is on it's way out. The reason I say hard disk rather than processor fan is because you are getting blue screens on your computer. The would suggest that the hard disk has corruption on it and already has started to fail.
I would back up all your data to CD if you can as soon as possible and replace the hard disk or take it into a shop and ask them to replace you hard disk and transfer your data across.

One of your cooling fans, is about to fail, get it checked up, it is a minor problem.
Problems with your windows is because it has crashed a few times, and probably a check disk would clear it up, again a minor problem.
If you do not act soon, it will turn into a major problem.

Check your computer fans. Clean out the heat-sink while your about it. Could be that your system was overheating a bit. Also check that your hard-drive is not faulty.

Alicat darling you better have your PC checked by expert or you will lose it altogether. It looks like Motherboard on blink and power suppy is bad. Noise is from your cooling fan.

In this case, don’t waste your time. Contact a hardware technician as soon as possible and get it fixed. Or you’ll waste the entire computer.
