Hi, my computer is a sony vaio with windows xp, and when i used to rip dvds to my computer or burn games or movies, it would run the fans really loud. Well now if i get on it at all it runs the fans really loud over nothing like just checking email or something. Now i have taken it apart once(just the side casing) to mod my xbox 360, and i booted up the computer and accidently disconnected the fan. But i plugged it back in. And it seems like a couple weeks later i cant really remember but somewhere around there, is when the computer ran hard over simple tasks. Now could i have maybe disconnected one of the other fans? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

You may have disconnected a fan, but I am guessing the problem is with too much dust.

most likely dust on the cpu heatsink. try to locate where the noise is coming from as you have at least 2 fans in the computer with possible more.

get a can of compressed air and blow it in where the heat usually comes out seems to be a regular thing for a carpet of dust to cover the cooling fins. so don't try to blow it through, blow it back, won't hurt the components

Thanks guys, ill try the air dust it all out. And i wasn't thinking that the bios would say that one of the fans was disconnected too. Sorry for late reponse ive just been really busy lately.
