Computer Making Noise?
I'll Find Out Why — Before It Gets Worse.

Strange noises from your computer are warning signs. Clicking or grinding usually means a hard drive is failing. Loud fans mean overheating. Buzzing can indicate a power supply issue. I diagnose the sound and fix the problem before it leads to data loss or hardware failure.

Computer Making Strange Noises FAQ for Walkertown

Is a clicking hard drive bad?

Yes — clicking or grinding from a hard drive usually means it's failing. Back up your data immediately and call me. The sooner I can look at it, the better chance of saving your files.

Why is my computer fan so loud?

Loud fans mean your computer is running hot. Common causes: dust buildup, dried thermal paste, demanding software, or a fan that's wearing out. All fixable.

Can you make my computer quieter?

Yes! Cleaning fans, replacing thermal paste, and optimizing software can dramatically reduce noise. In some cases, I can replace noisy fans with quieter ones.

$10 up-front diagnostic (waived if you proceed with repair), $50/hr (1-hour minimum). Diagnosis is quick — the repair depends on what I find.
