I have had this computer for 2 years and it was the quietest thing ever. It could easily handle the games without my CPU reaching full usage. But now, it buzzes alot. I ran anti virus and malware checks so I was wondering would a fresh install of windows 7 help with this problem?

It will till you fill it with unneeded apps again. :|

ZormaX · 08-14-2011, 08:25 PM

Lol alright thanks. This time I'll be careful ;P

You should try to format once a year anyways. You probably will always have some trash that won't go away without a format. :/

If the CPU starts buzzing again (you never know with PCs

), check your temps.

I did the fresh install. My original settings were 1024 x 768 but this one set me to 1280x1024 because my monitor is 19 inches. Although the actual PC / desktop looks fine, some texts/ images on web seem blurry.

Any way to fix this? its not all blurry...just like some parts like the edit and quote button..etc

I suggest you change your resolution to the monitor's native resolution. If you can't, install the latest video drivers (which you actually should've done already).

The recommended resolution is 1280 x 1024. When I set it to the older resolution (1024x 768), Its too small :/

Have you cleaned your fans? I do that at least once or twice a month. Open up your can, spray it up with some compressed air or use a basketball pump, and get all of the dust out. It really helps with noise and overall PC health.

Hey I was actually thinking of opening my case up and cleaning it out..both the PSU fan and the CPU fan (if there is one that is making noise).

So basically, unlplug , open and clean out all the dust right?

Yeah.

While it is rare, might want to watch out for static shocks. Simply touch a tap to ground yourself before hand and you're good to go.
