Alright, lately my computer has been acting very strangely. I usually turn it on when i get back from school (at around 4 pm) then shut it off in the morning (at around 7 am) ... now for some very odd reason, everytime i come back from school and turn it on, it makes a very loud freaky sound just like some car engine or something and it gets really loud at some points. I then keep shutting it off/putting it on, and only after a couple of tries (and sometimes smashing the case ) does it boot silently... :/
The sound is probably coming from a fan. All you need to do is take it out and give it a little oil and it will be fine for a month or two. I had this problem too but I'll need to check which fan it was (I think it could have been the one facing out). Will get back to you.
