Dell :: Are Loud Electrical Squeals Normal?
Jun 22, 2009On my (soon to not be my) 1536 I get really loud electrical squeals, kinda like interference that you would get on a phone. And I can usually hear it from across the room.

Acer :: Extensa 7220 Loud Beep At Bootup, Then Normal
Sep 14, 2009extensa 7220 laptop.
When turned on it goes past the Acer logo screen then a blinking cursor shows at top left of a black screen & what I can only describe as either a very loud continuous beep or audible alarm sounds for up to 3/4 mins then the pc will continue to boot into Vista & work normally.
I've run utilities like HDtune to check the hard disk - it says its fine, I'm going to run memtest for the memory, I've read about the phoenix bios codes but it doesn;t sound like any of the sequences.
Lappy is 1yr old in three days time :-(
HP/Compaq :: G60-120us- Freakin Mouse Button- It's So Loud And Clicks So Loud As Well
Feb 2, 2010My wife got this HP G60-120us notebook computer. It's about two years old now. I'm planning on getting her a new laptop so I can get this one. The only thing that I really do not like about this laptop is the freakin mouse button. It's so loud and clicks so loud as well. What I'm using now is my old Dell laptop and I love the mouse button so quiet and smooth unlike the HP. Is there anyway to make this sound quiet? Like open it up and spray some WD-40? J/K, is all HP's like this?

May 17, 2010I just opened my first ever macbook pro from its box. I've noticed immediately that when the unit is tilted in any direction, sideways, back, any direction, an electrical "buzzing" sound will emit from the components under the keyboard.
It sounds very much like the "zzzzzzzzzzzz" sound one hears as they drive by power lines on the side of the road....only toned down quite a bit, obviously. But it's definetly an electrical noise. It's only emitted when I move the computer, but it's already annoying...I hear it every time. And I move/adjust/reposition this laptop around allot.
Dell :: Studio Xps 13 Led Vs Normal Lcd
Aug 16, 2009My only question here is whether or not the LED version is noticeably thinner than the normal LCD version.
If it's not noticeably thinner, I'm not going to bother with that option. I know the LED is brighter,
but in imho, if it's not noticeably thinner, it does not warrant a $100+ premium.
edit: now I'm having second thoughts. Can someone help me pick? LED or 9500 GE? They cost about the same for an upgrade.
edit: I just ordered a refurb from outlet

Dec 8, 2009Is anyone else experiencing real high fan noise while playing a game? Even with the sound on it's clearly hearable and really annoying and continues going.
As soon as I exit the game it's over, so it probably involves temp & CPU clock. My temps are about ~70C when I exit
Dell :: Xps M1330 Fan Too Loud
Mar 27, 2009The CPU temp is 60 C
The noise level is really high, not that high- but enough to annoy you if you work a lot with your laptop.
And that's when I'm doing almost nothing. Its starting right after booting the laptop.

Jan 8, 2015I just received my brand new XPS 13 yesterday and followed the quick start instructions. Plugged it in and pressed on the power button.

It's so loud, I can't ignore it.

Dell :: Clicking HD. Normal Or HD Failure
Jan 16, 2009When idle, my harddrive makes a very faint clicking noise. By "clicking", I mean the same sound it makes when it is loading something... you know, that "tik tik tik" noise.
However, when idle, it tends to make little "tik" noises every 2/3 seconds or so.
Now, according to the internet, clicking means my HD is about to die... but having looked on youtube, by clicking people mean very loud clicking, like i was turning a light switch on and off...
Now I don't know. Is "access" clicking every few seconds normal? Or should i get my hd replaced??
To clarify, the clicking i am experiencing is no louder than the clicking you hear when ur HD is accessing information. If I used HDParm and play with the settings, the clicking sounds becomes almost impossible to hear and less frequent.
Dell :: Normal Temps For 1730?
May 28, 2009I just got my 1730 today and it's quite awesome.
However upon downloading hwmonitor, it seems my temps usually hover around mid 60s and go to 75s quite often making the fans come on. Is this normal?
And I live in the bay area pretty close to San Francisco, so the weather here is usually pretty cool

Dell :: Is This Normal Temperature For My XPS M1730?
Oct 11, 2009Lately I've been busy and haven't played a whole lot of games. Just the other week I notice my GPU temps went up on ilde. The fan would kick in ,to stablized the temp around 75 degrees then drop to 60 or so. The temperature just keeps climbing up till it maxed at around 75 degrees.
Iv'e already went and bought some air can blowers and blow all that dust and lints out. I even ensure it's clean by shining a flash light thur the top of the fans and look thur the vents to see if I can see the fan blades. All is clear but I'm still having then same issues. When I ran games such as RE5 it gets really hot sometimes reaching 95 degrees.
My palms sometimes starts to burn anyone encounter such act? Wondering if there's anything else I can do before calling DELL support!
Dell :: XPS M1330 Normal And Max Temps? (CPU / GPU)
Mar 11, 2009I've been fighting this M1330 for a while, and had the motherboard replaced once already to "fix" the GPU issue.
But I'm still worried about temps.
Sitting flat on a coffee table (not blocking the vents or anything) and playing Fear 2 demo
the laptop just shut down (presumably due to high temperatures) after only 5-10 minutes.

Dell :: Freeze + Loud Beep?
Jan 7, 2009I got a new laptop in about June or so, and it ran great. I have McAfee for anti-virus, if that helps.
About 2 weeks ago, my computer started to slow down. A lot. My typing would lag on the screen, and some of the letters won't even show up.
I also seem to get an insane amount of pop ups on whatever sites I go on, and I get about 5 popups every hour, on the hour. When I scan, though, I get nothing.
Now, this is the worst part. My computer will completely freeze a lot. When it does, I'll wait a minute to see what happens.
Then, if I click the screen a few times, a single, insanely loud beep will come from the computer. This will happen a few times before I can actually use my computer, and I have to re-boot often.
My computer is insanely slow, like I said before, and it takes forever for it to finish starting up. Half the time, it'll freeze before I can even log in.
If it helps, this started around the time when I signed up for Facebook, if that has to do with anything. I've tried to do virus scans many many times, and I used the Dell Automated PC TuneUp tool. But, nothing seems to work.

View 10 Replies View RelatedDell :: E6400 Sporadic Loud Fan
Feb 26, 2009Just got my e6400. Thanks for the help selecting it over the past few months. I'm really happy with it apart from one small issue.
It seems that occasionally the fan runs at top speed and is pretty noisy in the process.
This happens even when the machine is idle. For example yesterday I was sat with nothing open on the table beside me whilst I worked on my T61p, and suddenly the fan starting running at full speed for 5mins or so.
I can't see any pattern to this, but naturally if there is a problem, I'd like to get it sorted out sooner rather than later.

Dell :: Loud Click On Shutdown?
Jan 15, 2009I've noticed that when I shut down the computer, just before everything turns off I hear a loud(ish) click from the back of the computer. Same sort of noise as when you turn on a light switch, maybe a little sharper.
At first I thought it might be the speakers, but not so sure. Anyone else have this? It might just be hardware turning off

Mar 12, 2010I just installed mTRON SSD in my Latitude D420 laptop.
I turned my laptop on and my mTRON SSD was not detected. I panicked and i thought that my SSD was dead-on-arrival. I left my computer on for like 10 minutes and then I reboot.
After the reboot my laptop finally detected mTRON 32gb SSD. I'm glad it wasn't dead on arrival... i just have to wait for 10 minutes to be detected when I turn on my computer.
