[access-uk] Re: xp pro and media center

Hi Ray.

The thing is Ray, than when I returned the computer to pc world, it was running as quietly as a mouse. That's why I think I have a problem with a fan or a drive which is stuck at full on. I have recorded the noise and attached this as an mp3 file to both George and Andrew so they can hear the noise for themselves. Hopefully, either will recognise what is going on.

Best wishes.

Andy

Andy, think George and Andrew might between them have the solution to your problem. Lot's of solutions re. quiet fans coming through too.

I used to have a very noisy Fujitsu computer, but I did reduce the offensive amount of noise from it by putting it on the floor, which in my flat is a solid concrete floor. I also found some large jiffy bags to place around the top and sides, which did help a bit. There are sound absortbant blocks you can buy that do the same thing, but obviously, you cannot cover the fan outlets which is obviously where a lot of the noise from the computer is expelled along with the warm air. This is where the under-the-desk solution can come in handy as a more quick fix, although then you have the problem of replugging leads, difficult at the best of timese. One reason why I've occasionally wondered about getting computer patchbays similar to audio patchbays.

Hi,

I am wondering if something is loose in the machine, and when you got it home it got banged/etc and thus the noise is back?

Andrew.
