Well, put my cpu to standby last NIGHT and went to bed. I wake up this morning and there's a voice saying "System Failure (and another word I can't make out)", and my cpu is on. I turn it off for about an hour, turn it on, and it doesn't make the noise, but there's something wrong. It starts up and (I think the fan) starts making a noise like a bee. If anyone has any idea what the problem is, please give me some advice on how to solve it. If you need any more info, please ask.

ThanksWhich make and model of computer are you using?Well, put my cpu to standby last night and went to bed

Tell us more....If you put your system back into standby does the noise STOP?
If you go into BIOS does the noise stop?

These steps turn off certain fans in your system.
Fan's making a noise either means the bearings are going and its running slightly off BALANCE or a CABLE inside is catching the fan.
Could be system fan, cpu fan or vga fan if it has one.

Try tilting the system..carefully and not full TILT!..if the noise stops then its probably a cable catching.What language is this voice speaking?


Have you noticed any glowing from inside the case when the room is darkened?
