Computer always running
Hi there,
My computer isn't very old, maybe 7 months or so but it seems to be always running and making a lot of noise recently. I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I have Norton anti virus and another virus program on there so I don't know if that could be the cause or if it's something else. Does anyone know what I can do?
Also, is there anyway to retrieve something from the recycle bin after you have already put it in there and deleted it? I put the wrong picture files -pics of my kids - in the bin and then deleted the bin and then afterward as I went through the pics on my gallery realized I put the wrong ones in there.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

it depends on what kind of noise your pc is making but you could try getting a can of compressed air and blowing out the inside of your pc.

will get your photos back (maybe)
You should only run 1 antivirus program at a time. Be sure 1 is disabled and use it only for occaional scans if you think your "main" one might be missing something.

Post Oiling Fans is Good, Ready to Relplace HDD
Pull Your fans apart put in NAPA Spray Grease 765-1394 or WD-40 which was made for Rocket Ships and is tested Very Good Best by Popular Science some years ago and get ready to Replace Your Hard Drive if only seven Months contact Warranty. I like Seagate, also heard nice things about Samsung Hybred Drive with Flash Cache. I'm hoping Samsung and Intel make Solid State Flash Drives affordable soon. I hope that helps. I know it's a bit tedious but it's not that hard. Or get New Fans. I got half a dozen in a package. They are 80mm and 120mm are popular sizes in most cases but still I pull them apart and regrease to be sure sometimes the grease does not get in the right spot so I use flowing liquid grease.
Ball bearing combo brass sleeve are good but make sure plenty of oil or grease.
Computer noise like car noises are not good.
Again Hope that Helps.
Have a Good One
