hello adrien.

well, if the power supply fan was still on to an extent you may not know straight away, feel the power supply to see if its vibrating abnormally or getting hotter than normal if not its probably the processor fan. open the PC and put your finger on the fans in turn to stop them spinning, obviously you may need sighted help to do this placing your finger on the center of the fan. when the noise stops you've found the culprit. if its none of the visible fans then it'll be the power supply fan. get the shop to test it for you if you're taking it in. its a shame you're not closer/living in the UK...

cheers,

Mo.

Hi Mo

I have just got back from the hospital, that was a waste of time but some 
months ago my pc guy mentioned the baring but he didn't specify which baring, I 
have just put the pc back on there seems to be a lot of cold air coming from 
the back of the pc so I am sure it isn't the fans but more likely to bethe 
processor fan or power supply. What symptons would I have if the power supply 
was going?

Regards

Adrien

Hello adrien.

Its a bit difficult to assume what kind of PSU you need. If you have a tower 
case then you will need a standard ATX power supply. Take your pc to a pc 
repair shop if you can't open it up your self and they should be able to sell 
and fit one for you for around 30 quid. They can make sure all the connectors 
are right. It could also be the processor fan so I would get it checked just in 
case the baring is going. As for ram, use a utility called CPUZ. I am not at my 
pc at the moment so can't send you a link but a google search should allow you 
to download it.

        Hi
        
        I need some help with my pc, firstly, if I leave it off for
        a period of time, i.e. over night, when I go to boot up in
        the morning, the power supply is making a lot of noise, it
        takes 7 or 8 attempts by pressing the on off switch before I
        can get it to boot up normally, I am sure it is the power
        supply that is making this noise, the fans are putting out a
        lot of cold air so I know it is not the fans. I am sure I
        need to replace the power supply, once it is working it can
        work for days until I turn it off again and reboot it after
        a few hours. How can I easily find out what power supply I
        need without sighted assistance? The power supply is the
        type with a switch at the top.
        
        Secondly I would like to increase the ram, is there a way
        for me to find out what type of ram I need to get?
        
        Regards
        
        Adrien
