Solve : Loud humming noise and very slow?

1.	Solve : Loud humming noise and very slow?
Answer» Hi all, The last couple weeks our computer at home has been making a loud humming noise and it is very slow. If I turn it off and leave it for a while or overnite, it usually goes away. This doesn't happen everyday, but probably 2 or 3 times a week maybe. It is impossible to use it when it gets in this mood cuz it is so slow when this happens, so I just close it down. :'(Is this SYMPTOMATIC of something that I should be attending to now? ???Please help. Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thanx!It sounds like fans are working really hard, making humming sound. Turn computer off, open the CASE, and using can of compressed air, clean it well inside. DO NOT use vacuum cleaner!! What Windows version? We'll go from there.Thanks for your speedy response. Why would it only happen every so many days and not CONTINUOUSLY? How do I open the case? Is it something fairly easy or do I have to be careful not to disturb something or break it in some way? Thanks again! Quote Why would it only happen every so many days and not continuously? It probably depends on what programs you're using. As for opening the case, what is your computer brand, and model?Not sure, will have to CHECK when I go home from work today. I know it is a Lenovo, but not sure what that means. Oh, this is laptop, huh?No, it's a regular PC.Oh, OK. Please, post the model, when you got home Don't work too hard....heheheOkay, will do. Can hardly wait to get out of here. Was going to a baseball game (Scrappers) tonite, but now it is downpouring rain, so I doubt it will still be on. Good to have an unexpected "free" evening! Thanks for your help!You're welcome
