Woka Snr Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 When in game for a lengthy period of time my pc starts slowing down and then makes a loud annoying screech from inside the pc anyone else had this problem or know what it could be???I'd be worried it was possibly the hard drive, if you haven't a back up/2nd hard drive I'd think of investing in one, you could then change it so the new one has the operating system on it and is the main drive and retrieve all you need off the old hard drive. Check it's not perhaps getting too hot first and that one of the fans isn't making the screeching sound first before paying out anything. It has been quite warm recently and I tend to run my PC with the cover off to help keep it cool, maybe try that, that wouldn't really stop the screeching sound you get though.
crash happy Posted August 7, 2007 Author Report Posted August 7, 2007 I've taken the cover off and still the same even had a fairly big room fan blowing directly at the pc sunday night but will have a look over the hard drive thanks
