Problem Ok I made a post a while back about this weird buzzing noise tha thappend when my comp started up. SO i kept troubleshooting until I found the problem. The CPU fan stops spinning after about 2 seconds then the buzzing commences. I have to goto bios and save then reset wen the compute rcomes back on it spins non stop? How do I prevent this thanks :D
 
Isn't it supposed to spin non-stop? It keeps the CPU cool, stops it from just overheating.
 
If it is a buzzing that starts when the comp is booted and goes away after 20 seconds or so, then the bearings have become slack.

I have that problem too, its nothing to worry about, just means the fan will buzz until it heats up.

And yeah, its supposed to spin all the time.
 
I would look into getting a new fan. Its not good having the fan not spinning all the time, even when the chip isn't too hot, it won't do the cpu any good in the long run. You can pick up a new fan for pretty cheap, just check you buy the right size. It will most likely be 80mm, 92mm or 120mm in size.
 
Ya its supposed to spin all the time. Its just on my first boot up it spins for a little bit then just stops spinning. SO i have to restart my comp from bios to get it to work.
 
Replace that Heatsink/Fan or just the Fan before you use your PC. ;)
