Depends which fan it is. If it's the CPU fan, that's bad, very very bad.
Case fan isn't as much of a problem, though you'll probably need to leave the case open for the components to stay cool.
As for the floppy drive, I'd just buy a new one. They aren't expensive and your computer is old enough to not be sure if it'll boot from CD. |

What i find when my pc does that is i give the fan a good clean with a brush, sometimes its just dust collected that hinders the fan. On reformatin your pc just go to the BIOS and set Boot disk to your E drive (or whateva your cd drive letter is) put the windows cd in and bobs your uncle.
Give it a clean first then see if its still a broken fan, my 2c worth anyway.
normally have 3 fans, cpu, gpu or case fan. Clean em all.
The first time you open your case is a bit daunting buts its good to know whats in there. I opened it for first time about 1 year ago, ask escee i was busting his nuts, since then ive inserted removed parts left right center. Its quitte easy.
ps. make sure power is off. |

CPU fan, hmmm... now you brought that up i'm thinking something might be up with that because last time (about a month ago) i took my comp apart, i touched the CPU chip thing and it was loose as hell... like if i nudged it anymore it would just pracitically come out... yeh gonna go to the shop now or 2moro and buy a floppy, cheers Joel :)
Thanx Paulie, big help there. I know exactly what you mean, you know i think it was about 8 months ago the power supply thing in my comp blew up while i was using it lol.. pretty freaky, so yeh i checked the comp and there was a load of dust and crap... might have stopped the airflow and heated the up to blow up, destoryed alot of with it too :(. But cheers dude, will do that now.
Thanx again ppl!! |

:nervous:
Anyway, if your cpu's or video cards fan is making noises, simply unscrew the fan from the heatsink, turn in upside down, remove the backing/sealing tape, and add a few drops of singer oil into the fan bearings.
viola! :disbelief |
