Hello,
When I attempt to open some websites the pc SEEMS to want to "race", for a lack of a better word, when downloading or opening..mainly sites that are very busy... I can use another computer, with basically the same setup, and doesn't do it... appears that there are not viruses, etc... this has just started a short time ago..
Would appreciate any feedback one might have...

Larry WollerI would LIKE to add that it only "races" for a short period of time, then stops, as if it had scanned for something...

LarryWhat do you mean by "races"?I am not sure what the right word would be to describe it but I have heard other computers make the same sound, especially when scanning... a buzzing sound perhaps, like maybe the fan turned on briefly...

LarryThe fan is designed to change it's speed up and down based on how hot the CPU is. When you load a web page the CPU will work harder and therefore heat up causing the fan to turn on.I understand.. any ideas on what may be causing the pc to suddenly be doing that??.. it started a few days ago, have been downloading and opening the same pages for over a year or more...nothing has really change in the pc over the last few days... have kept virus control updated with Norton...Or maybe it needs a good cleaning inside??..Did a bit of cleaning C DRIVE using Disk CLEANER and then shutdown, disconnected cables, etc . took the side off and, being careful, did a thorough cleaning using aresol dusting and a small vac.. believe the dust in the pc may have been the issue.. in either case, the issue has been resolved....Good news indeed...glad yer fixed up.
