could be the hard drive on it's way out. Or it could be a cooling fan bearing wearing out

It probably is my hard drive. I have two dells and the other one already needed a new hard drive. Then I have this Compaq thats like two years older then my dells and I works fine? Maybe I shouldn't buy a dell again.

Take the panel off the side of the computer while it is running and trying to narrow down where the noise is coming from, 90% sure it will be your HDD. Here are some tips.....

I found out the problem. Aparently my floppy drive died. I just unplugged it and it works fine! :D
