Yeaaa. I don't know what the noises would be. Perhaps it could be your hard drive. My grandma's sounded like a coffee maker at one point. It had to much stuff on it and needed BAD defraging. Can you pinpoint the location of the sound at all?

I don't know. It just sounds like it's coming from the back of it. It's an all-in-one computer so there's no big box. I don't think you can fix those kind of computers.
Also, a coffee maker is probably a better thing to compare the sound to. It's like a quieter noise similar to a keurig coffee machine starting up.

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.

Can all-in-one computers be fixed? I don't think so.
You may also want to try making sure your computer is getting proper ventilation, its fans are working properly, and it isn't dusty.
Also, get an Antivirus. It's a little silly not to have one! The community here can probably suggest a few. I personally use SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes. I should really get BitDefender though.
If you're unsure about downloading a file or visiting a site, a site called Virustotal can help you. Simply sending a link or uploading a file will yield results from several anti-viruses. |
I think I might have downloaded something that wasn't good around a year ago. I downloaded something that was supposed to give me my photos from my iPad back (I was desperate), but now I get pop-ups on my computer when it starts up saying "issues found: 2453543
Security issues: 3454353"
Is this actually a problem or are they trying to get me to buy their antivirus thing? I think the thing is called "PC Clean Maestro". I just ignore the messages all the time.

I was once playing a piano connected to the laptop,video calling on skype,sharing music on skype(by a 3rd party application),browsing,playing graal,downloading programs on Chrome and Utorrent...and out of the blue i got the blue(get it?) screen of death...
I had to boot it with the win7 DVD and do a system restore.
Point being,don't put your PC under too much load or you will end up with a blue screen.

Okay, I usually only play graal and listen to YouTube or spotiify.
