Solve : fan runs loud all the time?

1.	Solve : fan runs loud all the time?
Answer» HELLO. I have a problem with my computer fan running loud all the time. When the fan stops running loud, sometimes the computer will just shut off. The computer also does not want to come out of screen saver / sleep mode, so I changed the settings to be on all the time, ugh. But the loud fan is the main problem. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!! I have Windows XP, SP3... on a Compac Presario SR1430NX, 160 GB, 512 MB. Any ideas on how to make the noise go away? Been doing this for SEVERAL weeks... THANKS!!!!!Why are you STARTING another thread?Have you removed a side panel to determine which fan is the culprit ? ? PS Sorry for closing this earlier...Sorry but another Alan told me I needed to take this problem to hardware and not where I started it... this is all new to me, but I can certainly remove this if I need to.I would...be careful with static precautions and remove all powe rtil you have the panel off...then re-introduce power and see what fan is the culprit... My bet is it's either the PSU or vid CARD fan...Thank you for your help. I will try it.
