Have you tried kicking it.
dont know if thats meant to be funny, but that helped with my old pc, I had exactly the same problem. 1-3 kicks and everything was fine :D]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359839 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:39:45 +0100 Reply by QpiK Brego https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359836 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359836 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:18:42 +0100 Reply by Koeitje https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359834 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359834 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 15:15:56 +0100 Reply by Ensign https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359830 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359830 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:37:16 +0100 Reply by MightyMe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359747 Quoted from Miek
[...] Disconnect them one by one, when the noise stops, you've found it!
Quoted from octochris
Often caused by wires or other stuff hitting into a fan. GPU and CPU fans are often a big cause of collisions due to their placement.
Quoted from Norrland3000
Exactly what Miek said, disconnect, listen, profit. :) It's 99% a fan issue.
Ok guys thanks for telling me what probably the source of the problem is. I will try to disconnect the fans one by one to check if this will solve it.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359747 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:17:06 +0100 Reply by aeqvist https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359630 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359630 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:43:54 +0100 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359629 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359629 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:36:17 +0100 Reply by mikechml https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359625 Quoted from MightyMe
What do you mean by "check every fan" ? I opened my PC and looked in the inside a few days ago, i cleaned every fan i saw from dust and they all looked fine, none of them were hitting any cables or whatever when my pc is running.

It's not something obvious like your BIOS trying your optical drive as the first bootable device is it? I guess you'd recognise the sound from you optical anyway =/ IDK, it does seem strange that it needs to have been off for a few hours before this occurs.
I am pretty much a noob when it comes to hardware so "ike your BIOS trying your optical drive as the first bootable device is it" this doesn't mean anything to me. Sorry. Quoted from Norrland3000
Probably a fan that is dieing and crying for help. Check every fan.

Is it a clicking sound? If so, your HD is dying.
It's hard to explain, it's more of a "rattling" sound, like it hits someone every time a fan turns around or something i don't really know.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359561 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 17:30:26 +0100 Reply by xetsog https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359410 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359410 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:59:31 +0100 Reply by aeqvist https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359409 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359409 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:58:29 +0100 Reply by Trane https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359407 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19909&post=359407 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:42:23 +0100 Reply by MightyMe https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19909/page-1/?recent=359841#post=359398 Quoted from Link!
