Lately (the last few days) my computer's been acting up sort of.

When i turn it on, it makes a loud beeping noise for a few seconds, and it sometimes makes this weird scrunching noise, which i recorded to help people help me.

Link to the noise it makes sometimes, not the startup beeps:

Any help on this is very appreciated.

yer a case fan is piss easy to do whereas a cpu fan is totally different cause you gotta resink your cpu so go pay for it to be done :whistle:

It's okay, i think i've fixed it.

Opened it up and gave it a hoover, the amount of dust there was it must of been blocking the fan or something. I've started it up and it's not made the beeping noise or the scratching noise yet
