Re: Two computer problems
[ QUOTE ]
Dells has a variable speed fan that run at max (loud) when the temp is way too high (ie u r blocking the fan flow or it is massivly dusty) or when the CPU is running at above ~50% for a sustained period, or when the HD is getting hit over and over. (not enuf ram for all the proggies open... or a massivly FRAGMENTED HDD/swap file can be to blame)
Other replier is correct to suspect spyware/an active antivirus scanner, P2P or some other resource intensive process running in the background. Defragment, and check out the status of ur swap file. Diskeeper is better than the Windows defragger.
Good Luck.

yeah that fan runs pretty much whenever i have more than like 2 things running. my computer does also tend to get really hot. i guess ill check for dust/blockage. thanks.
edit-wow, the entire back of my computer is like insanely hot, like almost to the point where it feels like it will burn me. (by back, i mean the part wehre everything gets plugged in, not the back of the LCD because the LCD is constantly closed due to having 2 external monitors.)
