Solved Is anything broken?

[Infinite]

I was playing Minecraft and accidentally spawned 800 Creepers which lagged the System, I waited and forgot to press Ctrl-alt-delete to end, and then did it.

I then get really slow 30kb/s data transfer speeds and really noisy fan..

I have turned it off and plan to keep if off for a few hours.

What should I do?

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Turn it back on. Usually a reboot will settle things down.

All you really have to do is keep an eye on that fan.

It is still quite loud, the Desktop Is on a carpet if that matters. I can even feel cold air coming out of the fan.

 

[Anak]

There are some machines that adjust the fan speed depending on the system load. Cold is good!

It would help if you would post your system specs, even though you have Ultimate x64, Minecraft can be hard on a system.
How-to is located in the green info box directly below the reply box.

Have you noticed any other performance anomalies?

Being on a carpet is not bad per se, but it will collect more dust, and dirt.
If you have had it there longer than 6mos. I would consider pulling the case cover to give it a cleaning.

Well right now I actually have 32 Bit with 8GB Ram :S because my 64 Bit disk wouldn't work.

It's temporarily 32 Bit till I get 64 Bit. So only 3GB

System Specs Updated.

I left it off for 12 Hours and it does seem much quiter now, however I am still worried.

I can now hear some squeaky noise.

One thing you need to realize is there can be more than one fan inside your machine, such as: cpu fans, video card fans, system fans, and even fans inside power supplies.

Here are two tutorials on case maintenance: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/79071-computer-maintenance-guide.html, and Cleaning the Interior of your PC Especially check the part about fan rotation.

You can also go online to YouTube, search for fan, and or computer noises, and you will be able to hear what the different sounds, sound like.
Be specific, and use the name of your cpu, video card, system fans, and power supplies. If you built this PC yourself you will need the actual name of the component.

Is this, a brand name model or did you build this yourself?

It was a Brand Name Model.

 

[Anak]

Would you be willing to elaborate on the name or is it a national secret?

Zoostorm

Thank you, the reason I asked for specifics is to try, and track down any problems with your particular model. It would be helpful if you provided the model number, and also if it is a laptop or desk model.
I can only assume it is a desktop model because you mentioned you keep it on the floor.

I did find one about a laptop from three years ago: Zoostorm Freedom Fan problems - Tech Support Forum

And this, on a desktop: Amazon.co.uk: Customer Reviews: Zoostorm Pentium Dual Core E6300 2.8ghz Windows 7 Home Premium PC, 500GB HDD, 2GB Ram, DVDRW, 7871-0032

Their web site seems to be unavailable.

Here is a SpeedFan Snapshot:

2 Minutes Later it changed to this:

 

[Anak]

Okay, now you need to go to Zoostorm Computers to track down your model, and see if you can come up with any comparisons to the speeds you see in your speedfan report.
That is the link, but because of the holidays they are doing maintenance, and on vacation.

Your speeds, and temps do not look out of the ordinary, the fan speeds if anything may be a little low. You would just have to keep an eye on them, and create a baseline report.
Too bad you did not have any readings before the spawning.

If the fan noise continues to bother you you can replace it with a new one. That is up to you. A new one goes between $30 all the way up to $70 USD.

By the way, how is it doing? Still getting better, holding its own or getting worse?

 

[Infinite]

Oh, so if anything, the fans broken, not the Hard Drive, PSU etc.

It's no longer loud but still can hear it.

Can feel a little air coming through the fan holes too.

 

[Anak]

That is a possibility.

But, to my knowledge you still have not done any physical troubleshooting to rule out the the other fans.

It would be foolish to spend money on a fan for one, when it "might" turn out to be something entirely different.

To answer your specific concerns:
If it was the HDD, your machine would not boot up at all.
If it was the PSU you would have probably seen smoke, maybe sparks/fire, and smelled a very, very hot electrical circuit board smell.

 

[Infinite]

The computer is smoke and smell free.

Here's a better overview:

SpeedFan flagged after running a MBAM Scan manually 10 minutes ago, maybe it was because I accidentally forgot to untick the Junk from installing, 2 seconds later realised, canceled, went back, unselected and then installed.

 

[Anak]

Is speedfan running okay now?

What do you mean by okay?

20-40C.

What do you mean by okay?

What did you mean when you posted this?

Maybe it is just me, but it is difficult to follow what you did here.

From your description it sounds like you had speedfan installed, and it was running okay.

Then ran a MBAM scan that flagged speedfan.

So you cancelled the MBAM scan, and re-installed speedfan without the "junk", and speedfan went back to running okay even with a MBAM scan.

"So", I wanted to verify if "speedfan was running okay now"
Am I anywhere close?


How is that fan holding out?
