| Re: hum hum hum.. Could be either the case cooling fan or the processor cooling fan (or even the graphics card fan). If you know how to look inside the case, then do so with it switched on and check that the fans are working - my processor cooling fan failed and the computer kept crashing, eventually taking the hard disk with it...

| Re: hum hum hum.. If you open it up, have a look for dust. The fans usualy get cloged up and a bit can get cought between the blades and the fan housing. I usualy hover it out every year, but what ever you do, dont use the brush adaptor on the hoover as it could produce static! Use the flat long thing and be gentle!! Unplug it before you do this too.... lol

| Re: hum hum hum.. A lot of modern towers have cases you can open without needing a screwdriver - they just unclip. Older cases normally have about 6 screws at the back which lets you take the outer casing off - it's really not a technical job. If the computer is that new, take it back to the shop and get them to look at it. For a temporary solution, hold a vacuum up to the fan inlet and switch it on - this might suck out some dust
