!Help! My Computer is acting weird now.?

Question

I was angry at my computer for lagginf so much while playing online. I hit the outside of the computer and I guess where i hit it one the other side inside of the computer I hit the prossesor. The whole computer went black and made a buzzing sound. Now when I turn on the computer the prossesor fan makes a noise like a rock stuck in a lawnmower. I turned off my computer twice and nothing was wrong now except the noise from the fan. When I turn on the computer it says hard disk failure. I wont start up now.

I did break the fan inside of the fins is missing.

Answer 1

Rearrange ur parts again by opening ur cpu... Check the fan.. clean it... Ur hardware might be corrupt...

Answer 2

1. You truly got what you deserved. Don't hit your computer!

2. The hard disc was spinning, and you hit it hard enough to cause the disc reading head to crash into the platter.

3. It appears that you may have dislodged the processor cooling fan, and possibly fried your processor.

4. Best case scenario is that the hard drive is shot, and you'll have to get a new one of those. Worst-case scenario is that the processor is fried and the hard disc is shot. Which means you effectively killed your computer.

Good job.

Answer 3

You did the ultimate "bone head" thing to do to a computer.

You obviously crashed the read/write head of the hard drive to the platter and I'm not really sure what you did to the CPU and/or fan. Maybe you broke a blade off the fan itself, or dislodged the fan (which I doubt).

You may be able to have someone salvage much of your software and/or data off the hard drive, but it wll be very EXPENSIVE!!

Then you'll need a new hard drive and possible a new cpu.

Now aren't you real proud of your self control??? LOL!

Next time things are running slow on your PC give the following tips a try before pounding on your PC.

A major cause of slow PC's is fragmentation of the hard drive.
You need to defragment the HD at least once a week if not more depending on how much you use your computer, and what you do with it.

One way is to use the defragment utility built into Windows XP. It is slow but does the job rather well. Go to:
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and then click on System Defrag to run the tool. It may take several hours, so let it run overnight or simply walk away from your PC for a few hours.

A great program for defragging automatically is Diskeeper. It costs $30 but is well worth it. Go to http://www.download.com and search for Diskeeper. Read the Publishers Description and the Editor and User reviews. It can be scheduled to run automatically as the program deems necessary, and if you are using your PC and the program launches itself, it will take a backseat to whatever you are doing and give you the priority for CPU usage. I think you'll agree it's a good program to have. It precludes your needing to remember to defrag at regular intervals.

Another major cause of a slow PC is programs that are running in the background. Here's another really good Microsoft tool. It’s called Autoruns and it was written by SysInternals who were recently bought up by Microsoft.

Before you download the program create a folder under program files called Autoruns. Leave Windows Explore open.

Launch Internet Explored and go to the following Microsoft web page.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/autoruns.mspx

Go to the bottom of the page and download the Autoruns program. After it downloads open the file. It is a Zip file. Unzip the file and you will see 4 files. Drag and drop those 4 files to the Autoruns folder you created under Program Files.

Once you have the 4 files in the C:\Program Files\Autoruns folder you can double click on the file titled “autoruns”.

This will bring up a window with several tabs at the top. Click on the “Logon” tab. It will list the programs that are running on your PC and eating up resources. Look them over carefully and turn off any that don’t absolutely have to be running. Simply click on the “check mark” in the little box beside the program name. Clicking on it will remove the check mark. Once you have edited the Startup list, click on Apply and then on OK.
NOTE: Leave items that show Windows; System 32; Program Files; etc. alone. Shutting them off may cause some things not to work.

Once you have exited the window, reboot your PC for the settings to take effect.

WARNING: Don’t go into the other tabs and start deleting things. You will probably give yourself major headaches if you do that. Stay focused on the “Logon” List only.

Another good thing to have is a little program called FreeRAM XP Pro. It is free and is available from http://www.download.com This program puts a little RAM meter on the System Tray and shows how much RAM you have remaining that you are not using at any given time. I think you may be surprised at how little RAM you have to run other programs. Also, once it is installed you can right click on the little meter, then click on RESTORE and it will open the RAM display window. You can tweak the settings so it will display your CPU usage also. Then just click “Minimize” and then “To System Tray” to return to the Task Bar.

What happens when you run out of or run real low on RAM is that the OS recognizes the low or no RAM situation and starts using a section of your hard drive as memory. This is called virtual memory, or a swap file. The PC is constantly writing and reading from your HD. Comparitively, it is a very slow process. Check your motherboard manual and determine how much RAM each slot can hold. It will also tell you what type of RAM you need. You can also go to http://www.crucial.com or http://www.4allmemory.com and run their analysis utility to determine what kind and how much RAM is installed in your PC. Depend on your MoBo manual to determine the RAM limits of each slot though.

Hope this helps

are you able to launch your laptop in secure mode? if so, that's fairly helpful to gather significant documents - JIC. additionally, that's fairly helpful to attempt some anti-virus classes to work out in case you could % out a scourge.
