Corrosion. Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I've had my computer over heat once about a year ago. It made a constant beeping sound from the speaker but this time I get a sound that almost sounds like a siren from an ambulance. any ideas? I checked the case it wasn't too hot and not alot of dust So far online I found either power supply or fan stopped on google what do you think? EDIT I just ran the computer with the case open and all fans are working.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you open the case while it was making the noise? it should be obvious where it is coming from. If not, try removing the HDD and then power it on. See if it still makes the noise. If so, probably a fan. There aren't that many moving parts in a PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
