Hp Pavillion dv7 - very loud fan noise (cracking)
My HP Pavillion dv7 starts up with a veqry loud fan noise.
It is still under warranty (hp care) tii 23/12/2011
Is the fan broken or can i resolve the problem myself
Hi,
If the fan is making a lot more noise than usual and sounds as if it's cracking, this is very likely to be a mechanical issue. By far the best suggestion I can make is that you contact HP straight away and arrange to have this repaired while the notebook is still under warranty.
The telephone number to arrange this can be found on the relevant link below.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

Please Help!
My computer has been making very LOUD fan noises. I know this cant be normal. How can I fix this issue?
This has been going on for a while now. As soon as I turn on the computer....the noise starts.Go check out Activity Monitor on your Mac. It will show you which programs are running, and how heavy their use of your CPU is.
When mine does this, for some reason, I have a bunch of "Managed Clients" running at once. I use Act. Mon. to shut them down, and my Mac runs normally. -
This has probably been dealt with, I have a 2007 intel iMac. It's been running fine but this week the fan has become very loud. Any ideas?
This can probably be reset by doing a SMC reset. Here is what to do on your iMac:
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
• Report back results to us.

Brand new fathers day gift. The unit is cool to the touch. Air being blown out of bottom is cool. Shut down unit was what I found to get it to shut off. That worked. I get up this morning and wake computer from sleeping and immediately fan comes on. I'm thinking I should take it back. 2 days old but the amount of updating it needed to do it was prolly built months ago.
Tammy,
You can do a SMC reset. BTW the port on the bottom is the air intake, the exhaust is on the back on the upper left. However I'd recommend immediately contacting Apple Care. The machine should be OK right out of the box. You can find the contact information in your country at AppleCare Contact Info.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer. -
Hi there,
I have a Imac G5 Rev2 and I read a lot of topics about loud fan noise. I bought an Imac about 4 months ago and the fan noise is a bit louder than when I just got it. What do all the users mean by "loud"? It is only once, when I was running the hardware test, that I heard my Imac did the "airplane" (very loud) fan noise. When I am using applications using a lot of CPU, I hear a louder fan noise but not the "airplane" noise.
Then what is the most reliable program to check the temperature of the iMac G5?
Which range of temperature is normal for the iMac?
Thx in advance for ya replies....I have a Rev b just like you and light use the temp of the cpu is 65-68º C while the hard drive is about 53º C. This is the temp as I am using two browsers, with iTunes and MS word open and running.
For a temp program you can try Temperature Monitor at this link:
http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
You can also try the very handy iStat Pro Widget (Of which the temps I gave you above came from). It has a lot of very useful data, from CPU to Memory usage, from CPU to Hard Drive temps---and even the speed of all three fans. You can find that here:

Hope this helps. -
Very loud fan (or other part?) noise in MacBook Pro
Greetings! My fan (I assume) has recently started making a very loud, horrible noise that sounds like a piece of plastic stuck in the spokes of a bike. It's driving me crazy and making me a burden to be around me when I'm working...which is always. Please help! I'd greatly appreciate it.
Perform a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
If there is no change, open the MBP and examine it. Look for dirt an debris, and if found, clean it out. You will need a #00 Phillips driver.
If still no success it may be that the fan is faulty and should be replaced. Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free and definitive diagnosis. It is not an expensive repair.

My 2008 Macbook Pro makes a loud fan noise.
Hello -
I bought my 15" macbook pro back in October 2008. I was very happy with my purchase due to the machine's performance. But over the past year I have noticed an increase in the fan noise. It almost sounds like it's hitting against something at a very high speed, hense this irregular fan noise. The noise also increases drastically when I am working on Photoshop or InDesign. I also partitioned my hard-drive to hold windows so I can work on AutoCad.....noise increases also as I work on my machine.
Why is this happening? Could this loud fan noise damage any internal component to the machine? Should I bring it in to Apple immediately?
Thank you!Some of the applications that you mention are somewhat CPU intensive which creates heat and results in fan speed increase and hence additional noise (to state the obvious). However if you are experiencing excessive noise when CPU loads are modest it could be that your fans are failing as all mechanical devices eventually will or you may have 'schmutz' inside that is the cause of the unwanted noise.
I suggest you open the MBP and see if there is any dust in the fans that may very well be affecting their performance. After 4 years, this is not an uncommon situation and it could be the solution to the problem.
If not, then you may consider getting replacements from iFixit or Powerbook Medic and replace them your self. It is not rocket science in this instance. If you suffer from chronic fingerfumbilitis, then have the Apple store do it for you.

Very loud fan upon starting imac. Does anyone know how to fix?
My iMac has a VERY LOUD fan that turns on during start up and does not stoop. I tried to shut down and start up again. I also tried to unplug the machine overnight. Still happening.
Anyone have a solution?This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

X200 is suddenly emitting a loud fan noise
My X200 has been working perfectly since October. Now, almost a year later, it suddenly started to emit a loud fan noise (almost as if something fell inside the fan, although nothing did). Has anyone experienced fan failure on the X200? How can I get it fixed? I'm on a long trip in Europe and need to use it on daily basis. It's quite embarrasing to turn the machine on in public places.
heretohelp - if WaleedBakr's system is under warranty then of course it would be covered. no one is claiming otherwise or denying him of service.
regarding Lenovo knowing "exactly what is wrong with [his] computer", that depends entirely if a call has been made to service. it sounds like the issue may have cleared itself and that a service case hasn't been opened.
regarding this post going so long without a response from a technician, this thread was started on a saturday (in the US) and our forum doesn't have technicians roaming around. this is a peer-to-peer forum, not an official support channel.
i recommend familiarizing yourself with our community participation rules where we outline the objectives of this forum and rules of conduct.
if you have personal experience with this same issue happening on multiple X200 systems then i suggest posting about it in this thread so the information can be logged. that would be very helpful.

G4 not starting up, black screen, noisy fan, chimes OK then nothing, after a few mins very loud fan!
Anyone else had this? On start up chimes as normal but screen refuses to come on. Have swapped monitors and same happens on the newer one. G4 was making noises before last week with very loud fan cutting in from time to time. Got lots of work on that computer! Typical, not all backed up! Is it the logic board? How much does that cost to sort out?
Thanks for your helpHello, it's going to be tough to find anybody to work on G4s these days, Apple doesn't.
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Does the Video card have a fan on it? Does the fan spin freely?
If worse comes to worse, you can pull the drives & get the info off of them with one of something like these...

Mac Pro will not boot, constant loud fan noise and nothing else
hello,
earlier tonight,i put my mac pro on sleep, then later on, when i wanted to take it off sleep and use it, it made the loud fan noise, which it always does but goes away, but this time it the fan wount slow down and the loud noise stays and i dont see anything on the screen. im guessing the fan noise is the ATI x1900 card...
any help please..i just bought it 2 months ago...Hi, here are the steps I would go through. I would unplug the Mac Pro completely from everything and look at the video card's fan intake to make sure it isn't plugged and just make sure everything "looks" correct. I would then plug the machine back into one monitor/keyboard/mouse (leave all the other peripherals disconnected. Once that is done push the power button. Does anything happen? If not then if you have another mac and an external hard drive, make a copy of the OS on the drive and see if you can get the Mac Pro to boot off that drive. If the video card doesn't work then it will not show anything when booting off an external drive. If the external boot does work then I would suspect that you have a bad hard drive (or it crashed). At that point I hope you have a back up of all your data and such.
Mind you these are steps I would go through. What a nightmare. One other thing to check, make sure your monitor didn't die.

Macbook pro retina start to make loud fan noise and work slow
I bought macbook pro retina display less than one years ago. For some reason my macbook pro has been making loud fan noise for about five mounth. Whenever macbook pro makes the noise, all the programs start to run slow. Typing, opening safari, and etc takes forever. It takes 20min to 40min for the noise to stop. At first, the macbook pro made noise once or twice in a day, but now it's making the noise frequently; It happens every 2-3 hours. It got to the point where it start to annoying me. Is there a way for me to fix this issue? If not, can I use one year warrenty to fix this problem? Thank you.
If your Mac works slowly when fans turn on, it's quite possible that there's a process which is eating the CPU and/or RAM.
Open Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities), select "All Processes" above "Show" (in the toolbar) and then, order the processes by CPU usage. Do you see any process which is consuming more CPU or RAM? If so, tell us the name.
Additionally, you can reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 -

I had the same problem, one of my fans was making a loud noise even when my computer was just idling. It can occur because you dropped the computer, thus damaging one of the fans, or the fan broke down partially. I took mine to the Apple genius bar and they ordered a new fan for me and installed it in under a week (all covered by warranty). This is likely a hardware and not software issue, the only way for a fix is taking it to a genius bar. -
Very loud fan sound, can't get video, system still running...help?
I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere here or throughout google. Can't find a similar problem.
We have a G4 tower here at work that we run FileMaker server on. It pretty much just sits there and we all connect to it remotely and use the FileMaker on our own machines. It's usually not even touched unless Filemaker needs to be restarted or something along those lines. It shares a monitor with another system so its not usually even connected to a monitor.
Well - today there is a loud fan noise coming from it that we havent heard before. So we went to hook up the monitor and can't get any video. It was fine in the past week or so because we have been on it with the monitor.
FileMaker must still be running fine because we can still connect...for now...but we can't load up a screen to properly shut down, or run the backup or anything to safely turn the machine off. I am not sure which OS is currently installed because I can't get to that info.
Our guess is that the video card died, and that is the video card fan spinning...but if that were the case, would the software running still be fine like it is?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Our tech guy can't make it out until tomorrow morning and we're afraid to have to wait that long...
Thanks in advance!G4 tower covers a lot of G4s; it would help to have more specific model information. I think some of the later ones (not my DP800 QS) had software controlled fans. It's possible part of the operating system has crashed and the fan is automatically going into full speed to automatically prevent overheating. The rest of the OS may still be running and explaining why you can get to your files. I'm not sure about the video though. Perhaps somebody else has something more constructive but with that kind of thing I can't help but feel you'll just have to switch off the machine and restart it.
