PC Problems

[bottleblond]

Hi folks,

I got a bit of a problem with my pc and was wondering if anyone has had similar problems or can advise me how to fix it.

I keep getting a siren sound coming from my tower which is driving me potty and now along with that, my PC is beginning to run slower and slower. I have tried leaving it off for long periods of time just incase it was overheating and i have also hoovered the fans at the back incase of any dust build up, but it has don't no good at all

I would appreciate any suggestions before i throw the whole thing out the window...lol!!

hiya my hubby is pc whizz he says inside the pc u need to open the case, look at main circuit board, there should be a big fan on the board. behind the fan is a heat sink, it will look abit like a metal grill, it will need to be blown out and cleaned of fluff. hope this works and u understand lol

I was gonna say get some compressed air and blow the heatsink and fan also leave the cover off, turn the pc on and make sure that the fan is spinning nice and fast. It does sound like a overheating problem, hopefully this will help
