Noisy laptop

It'll be the fan, get the hoover out and give it a good hard suck .... if you can remove the back/keyboard to get at the fans. That fixes mosts problems...AND SHOULD BE DONE ON ALL PC's AT LEAST EVERY 3 MONTHS... it will speed up your computer

give it a good hard suck ....

better to give it a blow than a suck

Boss, is that safe to perform

back up all your important files sis, must be the hard drive
or excessive dust which cause the laptop to run loud and run hot

It is usually the hard drive if the sound is like grinding.
You need a back up files, transfer all your data and do recovery so in case your hard drive failed, you still have the copy.

Thank you so much for giving me some ideas to what might be wrong with my laptop. Wala kasi ako masyadong alam sa hard drive na ganyan, ang alam ko lang gumamit ng computer, hehehe
I have most of my files in USB data traveler

probably cooling fan or the hard disk is on its last legs

If it is the fan, and you allow it continue, you could cause permenant damage to the components through overheating, mostly to the processor which is a particularly vulnerable part of the laptop

It must be the fan, I been using it for 3 years and never actually did any cleaning of it. I will have to bring it in a shop for cleaning.
Thank you so much
