Thank you so much paparazi and edfair. I will try the oil first and then if it doesn't work, I'll replace the fan. I thank all of you for you suggestions and explanations. livesfreely

Thanks Paparazi. Yes, it is not the power supply fan. Besides this is a sleave fan (found the info through google search), not the ball bearing one. I don't really know what a sleave fan is though. So, does the oil still work with a sleave fan?

Yes Paparazi, there is a plastic duct guiding the air flow. This fan is fitted right above the rectangular box that contains power supply and power supply fan. Seanform - What kind of oil can be put in it? Does anybody else think putting oil in it might work (even if for a short period)? I...

This fan is connected to the motherboard with a 3 pin connector. I have another fan in the PC that is used with power supply. I have HP Pavillion 9680C and the ASB0812HH is the original fan this PC came with.

I have a few more questions: Does Lower dBA mean less noise? Does Higher rpm mean better cooling? What does cfm mean? Thanks for all your help so far.

The computer makes a noise on startup. After a minute or so the noise goes away. I have determined, to the best of my knowlege, that the cooling fan is making the noise. The current model is: DC Brushless #ASB0812HH; 12V, 3 pins manufactured by Delta Electronics, Inc. If I want to replace the...

Blocking the airflow with hand doesn't cause any change in noise; i lready tried. I will see if a wire is rubbing against the fan; I didn't even think of that. I will also check all the screws again as well as wires and then post back if it worked or not. No, garebo I don't have any hard...

Yes, I checked the screws; they are all tight. I also thought that the cpu fan might be making the noise, but it seems to be working fine...and I don't know how I can tell that it is specifically the fan. I have an HP Pavillion 9680c.

I noticed a buzzing sound emanating from my computer this morning. Sometimes the noise is gone on its own. I know that this sound is not coming from the hard drive. Any suggestions? I'll appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you livesfreely

thanks garebo. livesfreely

While I was working on it, my computer started making a (clicking) noise. I turned it off and started it again. When I started the computer I recieved a message that a system file is missing. I had a dual boot with Win 98 and Win XP Pro. I was unable to start the computer in Safe Mode or go back...

Can the same jump drive be used on pc as well as mac? I need a jump drive for Mac right now, but in the long run I'd want to use it on PC. Is that possible?

thanks for your suggestions. Will try them out and see if it works. Thanks

Hi, I don't know if this is the right forum for my problem but I'll try and see if someone can help me. There is a phone jack in my house...when I hook up my modem to it, the modem doesn't detect a dial tone. When I hook up a telephone to this jack, it has some disturbance or noise while...

I have a PC with Windows 2000 and 256 MB RAM. A few days ago the browser homepage changed from bloombeg news to 'about: blank'. Even after I change the homepage from Internet options, it changes back to 'about:blank' after the computer restarts. Also, during shutdown there's always a file that...

I have an HP Pavilliion 9680C. It has a riptide audio card. The sound card is in combination with the conexant 56k modem. I want to upgrade to win XP. For that I need to change the sound card. 1) Will having a separate sound card and modem work? 2) If it does, then...how do i decide which...
