I held down the power button for 5 seconds, it made a pretty loud noise (it startled me), the screen shut off, and I turned it back on. There were options like "start in safe mode" "start in safe mode online" and "start windows normally". I chose to let it start up normally.
But now my computer is making sounds that sound like very quiet thunder or snoring. My computer now looks normal, but it doesn't sound normal.  |
Sounds like a messed up fan, or worse-case scenerio, your hard drive going bad. A messed up fan is easy to fix and could be causing overheating issues and causing a bsod(blue screen of death), However a faulty hard drive is a bigger issue. Either way this issue needs to be addressed by your parents, and neither would be an issue you caused, just hardware failing.
