My fan get's loud and the computer slows down with the more time I spend on it, per session. Can anyone help?

Question

I have a Dell desktop. It starts up very quiet and fast. It gets louder and slower as time passes and I use it. Sometimes with just internet explorer open, it has 100% CPU usage as quoted by the task manager.

So I started with running a defrag and disk cleaner. Nothing changed.

Then I uninstalled programs I never used, to free up space. I have about 60% free space now. Nothing changed.

I ran msconfig and edited it to not start up useless programs, and not to run useless services. Little changed, but it took longer to show problems.

I ran a program to free up RAM. It made my fan louder and computer slower when I ran it.

I have checked for spyware with 2 different utilities and visuses with a another different 2 utilities. Nothing changed!!!

Any other ideas? It doesn't start this way, any ideas?

Answer 1

If you fan is making that much noise, it's probably going bad and your CPU is overheating, causing your computer to go way slower. Get a replacement fan and install it, or send it to Dell (if it's still under warranty). Or, you can send it to me and I will replace it for you, I am a Dell Certified Technician :-)
