Pc makes a grinding noise and a beep

>pc makes a grinding noise and a beep

lol

>turn it off and go to bed
i-it will be fine in the morning

Literally a non issue, either a fan or hard drive problem. Worst case scenario you'd lose all the shit you didn't back up and 50 bucks for a new one.

Stop posting people with white skin.
It's highly offensive.
I'm Hispanic, and I feel my race is very under-represented on this image board.

Please be more conscientious before you post.

I had a nightmare my computer got hacked once
it was terrible

>Restart computer
>It takes 0.1 seconds longer than usual to boot

It's a mere emotional overtone, and, compounding this, it's a cartoon.

I don't get upset when it's not a real person.

>tfw had dreams computer gets hacked and parents find my hentai

It usually is a power problem not the computers problem

Fucking monkeys

do I need more power RAM?

>knee makes a grinding noise and a beep

same

I wonder why we have these feels.

>Phone was relaying every picture I would download to my dad's phone
>Was unknowingly shooting him Sonic porn

Holy shit, I still get those dreams.
>have dream where my dad finds all my porn
>have to explain it to him
I don't even save porn anymore, haven't for years.
Then the stupid dream continues:
>entire family knows now

>PC tells me to kill myself

Did he like it?

FUCK
THIS TOO
>dreams of sending family pornography that is far beyond what they would ever deem acceptable

>open up your case for the first time in two years to see how much dust is there

He never said anything, but he was saving everything onto his computer.

I found everything when I went on there for some vacation photos.

>PC works completely fine and quiet as usual

That's probably a PSU problem.

Took me way too long to get a new PSU.

And that's the day I decided I would never buy Seagate shit again

Turn off the computer for the night and it reboots..

It was the PSU.
I still used it for a couple of days despite the smell of burnt plastic.
The I decided it's not worth risking short circuiting my HDD.
Fun thing though, I tore out the PSU from my older PC that had almost the same voltage, plugged that shit back in and it's worked ever since.

Fucking Microsoft.

why does this happen?

>find out caps lock was on

>Win10 automatically updates

>you literally never put a password in before
>nothing works

And that's when I rolled back to Win7.

actually that wasn't it
I had a tech guy come in and he had to reinstall the os, said it was a known issue that windows sometimes does

Not sure, few nights before that I was browsing and a white box popped up on my screen, like an exe.and I couldn't move the mouse/keyboard, both unresponsive...
but then another mouse pops up and starts laggily moving across the screen. I nope and unplug the pc...

Nah senpai that's totally normal behavior for a pc

Reply to this post or otherwise your PC will die in it's sleep tonight

exactly how mine looks

Looks fine to me.
Good airflow, cables not getting into fans.
Literally not an issue.

>PC has a tendency to wake up while in sleep mode
>half the time it goes back to sleep mode

looks like my last build

Is that powersupply supposed to be upside down?

Holy fuck Jamie pull up those gorillas

>spider bro cleaning you pc, trying to make sure theres no literal bug bugging up the system
obviously the spider came AFTER the bugs ruined everything, spiders don't set up shop unless they have a job to do
that job is to get ride of unwanted bug btw, spiders don't hurt humans, he was clearly trying to save that man's pc
theres absolutely nothing wrong with us spiders being in places like that

Time to get a new one

>using pc, nothing out of ordinary

JUST
it was from the sound card being too close to GPU

>computer explodes
>never happens again

I fucking love beating up my pc when it makes noise. Sometimes I slam the thing when it starts to fuck up my fan and I give it a good beating like a typical wife beater. Sometimes I end it with a backhand slap and the fan works again.

This thing makes me obsessed with beating wives up.

I like to sleep with my PC on because the sound it makes is loud enough to make me ignore my tinnitus
:3

...

you joke but i fucking love spiders

I'd love if my whole house was had a couple lone wolf spiders in that bitch
they kill all the gay bugs

Me this afternoon

You don't udnerstand user, it wasn't a cobweb or something cutesy like that, it was a literal, actual nest with live eggs inside, very much like a bee hive or bird nest

Place your palms over your ears and drum the back of your head for 10 - 20 seconds.

plss no x

Reminds me of a silly event in my life

>sleeping
>loud noise wakes me up
>wtf
>electricity doesn't work right
>find out later that lightning hit an electric post outside
>smell smoke
>see lots of smoke around the house
>it's only in the rooms with PCs

And that's how we had to replace the house computers

>turning my monitor off and walking away from my PC when i hear a pop and the power goes off and i see a blue sparkle from my PSU
>PC turns of fine after this
However a power circuit was blown that you plug wires into, so it was that one that got done.

Don't do this it makes mustard gas!

Does this work? Not the user you replied to but I'll give this a go tonight.
Thanks my dude.

>Having a password on your computer

For what purpose

ok

>90% CPU Usage
>chrome is the only thing open

People come to my house?
If I have family members over for something I don't want their kids fiddling.

Try having a pair of extremely nosy siblings who can't keep their hands off your desktop whenever you're not around.

>not using a surge protector

T-Thanks user.

That sounds like a method of hacking I've heard about.

If I remember correctly, the infected computer will open up one of those "use your computer from another computer" programs and connect with the hacker so they can mess with your stuff or something like that.

If someone smarter than me can confirm or deny this, it would be appreciated.
