iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 it maybe a motherboard probelm, you might have to get a new motherboard! ( or it could be a short in the fan ) :? I'd say if you have to get a new motherboard, then just get a new computer because your computer over heating CAN'T be good for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 24, 2005 When did you cleaned the fan last time ? ... It's well known that the motherboard chipset cooler is always the one which give a wierd sound at the start , but when it heats up usually that wierd sound dissapears .. So I recomend you to clean up the fan , take off the sticker and put some fine oil on the bearings ... then tell us what is happening ... If you can tell us the name of the manufacturer and the model number ...I had the samo king of the problem, but with my graphics card ... but I sold it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 mind if i ask? how do i take off the fan from the motherboard for cleaning?unscrew it or what? anyway thx alot for ur reply... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 25, 2005 Yes of course ... you must unscrew it , than take itt off ... and of course unplug the fan from the motherboard ... then turn up the fan , and take off the sticker (it has a round contour) , and then put some oil (a high quality motor oil will also be fine) , but only a few drops ... Then put the sticker back (because of the oil , not to trickle out of the fan) and then screw the fan back to the motherboard , connect it to it's connector and you're done ... (i haven't mentioned , if the fan is too dirty don't forget to clean it ).If you have more questions , go on , aak us , don't be shy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 27, 2005 I think nothing can happen It's just an ordinary fan , you can't brake nothing if you are attentive ...But the saffest way is to take it to a service ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 Once had a problem with an Epox motherbord, also the fan who did broke down.Just bought a new fan, and everything was back to normal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 28, 2005 I'm thinking that Epox mainboard can't still this problem, to solve this problem is in cooling fan and heat sink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
