[peire]

Hi i keep getting this strange boing noise on my laptop, so i have it on mute all the time and i took it off mute and it still doing it i dont even have to touch anything on my laptop for it to do it it does it randomly so i havent a clue as what it can be, any help would be great thanks

could be Malware, software you have installed, or an error message that's failing to appear. Fill out your system specs and post a screen shot of your startup items as listed in msconfig.

i added some more on my specs but not sure how to get the rest of the info

type msinfo32 into the start menu, then expand software environment at the side, then select startup programs. then click file at the top and export to a text file, then when posting here, click the paperclip and upload that text file and insert it in your post.

Cant see anything suspicious there, try running Malware Bytes as your only av is MSE (which is good in itself against major threats).

ok thanks will get that now...

one other question my laptop gets pretyy hot and makes a lot of noise any idea what it could be ?? im on my laptop a hell of alot a day though so ??

edit:my sig not showing up ??

Signatures are limited by size, after you upload an image you need to add the sigpic tag to the free text area of your sig.

Edit: laptops get hot, the noise and heat are likely caused by fans and heatsink getting clogged with dust, this reduces the cooling efficiency and aerodynamics, this results in max fan speed and more heat. I used an AMD laptop that reached 91 degrees C last week and thats only 6months old.

See http://www.hwinfo.com/ for your temps if you are really interested.

How frequent is the noise and does it sound the same as any other system sounds or completely different? How long has it been there?

If it's frequent, open the mixer and see if the sound activity is shown, and what application it is shown against.

Sounds

Are you sure it isn't the "Device Connect", "Device Disconnect" or "Device Failed to Connect" sound?

Try this:

• Right click on the "Speakers" icon in your "Notification Area".
• Click on "Sounds".

Any item in the "Program Events:" list that has a speaker symbol by it, has a sound set for that event.
You can hear the sound by clicking on the "Test" button.

If you want to change the sound, click on the "Browse" button.
If you want to turn the sound off, click on the "Sounds:" drop down list and choose "(None)".

the noise is realy load sometimes when its been on for a wile its been like this for prob a few months but only realy thought about it about a month ago it gets realy hot were the fan is as well i was thinking it could be clogged and i tryed to access the fan but didnt get very far lol so not sure how to get to it




@lehnerus 2000 just did that and the sound isnt one of them ??




edit: and when i just turned my computer on it loaded to black screen and it to a few mins for it to start on my desktop im just thinking of re installing windows for the 6th time lol, i had problems ever since i got windows updates and they crashed my computer alot so i desabled the updates

 

[lehnerus2000]

Does the noise happen at random, or does it only happen after your PC has been running for a while?
Perhaps the heat problem, is causing the sound card/chip to misbehave.

 

[peire]

it just does randomly, iv left the sound off mute now so see if it does it but my laptop has only been on for a bit so its still cool,

 

[lehnerus2000]

You could temporarily disable the sound card/chip (using the "Device Manager").

If the strange sound occurs, it shouldn't be Windows fault.

If the heat was the problem I would suggest it's a bios alarm warning about the temperature, but then I dont think the mute would stop it because the bios uses the on board system beeper. Not sure if many laptops have these, they dont usually have user changeable bios settings for things like temperature alarm and shutdown (like desktops do), but this doesn't mean there aren't fixed setting for such things.

Another thoughts is: What is the battery condition like?
If the battery isn't charging this could trigger the low battery alarm even when it's plugged in.

the battery doesnt stay on long its ment to last for 3 hrs but only lasts about 30 mins to 1hr so got to keep pluging it in
