Answer» Hey this is my second post and im still a little lost.
My computer keeps RESTARTING every 3-5 minutes whenever there is a squealing sound coming for my computer. So, i checked out this other site and what it said was that when there is an error on m PC, it will restart. the site said that i should right-click on MY COMPUTER and click on the advanced tab, and on the STARTUP AND RECOVERY tab, settings. and i should uncheck ATOMATICALLY RESTART. i did that but it still keeps restarting everytime. what should i do?
bfIs this a sound coming from the hardware or a sound coming through the speakers or something?
If it's coming from the hardware, try to determine what's making the sound.the sound is coming from the hardware, but i can find where its coming from. its only making the sound for a short while
bfIf something hardware is making noises like you're describing, something is most likely dying. It's important you figure out what it is exactly ASAP.hey im not sure but i think the sound is coming from the power supply fan, but im not sure , or it something from the back of the pc box thing.
bfive read that everytime an error occurs, it is written in the system/event log. does anyone know where to find this?
bfOk, it sounds like your power supply is failing.
The following link explains system logs and where to view them: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427
However, a PSU failing won't necessarily register in the logs. The Event Viewer and the logs are mostly for Windows, drivers, and other things of the sort.hey thanks for your help ANYWAY
