Sony Vaio Netbook Is Making A Browser Clicking Noise?
Sep 7, 2011
my sony vaio netbook is making a browser clicking noise (like when you open a new page or folder)constantly shortly after startup if i turn the sound off ie mute the sound goes away if i close all browsers the sound is still there i have no other programs running.
I have an issue with my computer that is extremely annoying since it repeats over and over again. The issue is that a sound similar, if not identical to the "Page Loaded" sound from Internet Explorer. I haven't used Internet Explorer in two years, instead I use Firefox 3.16.16. This noise is not only annoying but scares me that a virus or trojan is running in the background using Internet Explorer to download more viruses (Which is the reason why I switched to Firefox in the first place.) The sound is so annoying that I literally have to mute my headphones and speakers to prevent that noise from playing. The sound plays even when Firefox isn't running and even plays when I'm playing some video games. I've had this problem before (With what might be my other computer, but it could very well be this one)[CODE]
Day before my laptop froze while watching a movie, so i put it off and restarted and then start-up took about 15 mins. its was freezing every few seconds with click noise which i think its from the hard drive. Now im currently using it on safe mode with networking.. its working fine but sometimes its freezes up for a couple of mins. the clicking noise comes onWhats my issue? faulty hard drive or ive hit a malware? ( i was messing with some usenet stuff )If i ive to format, how do i do it? Laptop originally came with vista ultimate but recently i send it for repairs to repair the dvd drive and the guy put in windows 7 ultimate for me, which i assume is a fake copy. So how do i format and i dont have the cd as well
i have strange clicking or cracking sound intermittently. it look like a static interference noise (but it is not a static interference) this is worst when i'm listening to a video on Internet.
clicking or static could be hear, even when the video as stopped. look like the system can't keep up i played with the sound mixer. i got many applications running at the same time that sent me sound indicators
the clicking sound is lowered when i lowered the sound on the : "sound system", leaving the others on the max level. when clicking or static do occurs, i could clearly see on the system sound level bar, the increase or the movement that occured in the "system sound" application
this is clearly an electronic or drivers problem, not a speaker or physical one
My computer has started to make a bit of noise...it sounds like a faint hum, or constant drone, kind of like a fan noise. I checked the intake, exhaust and cpu fans by stopping them spinning and the noise is still there. It sounds like its coming from my PSU. Does that mean its on its way out? I have a Hiper 530watt PSU which I have had for about 4-5 years now.
This problem occurred to me recently, as everytime i boot up my computer, the CPU fan makes a very loud noise and i can see the motherboard having a LED blinking orange. It's gone after a restart of the computer.
I Have Intel i3 Processor and once i switched off my computer directly when it was on .... The next time i switched it on i found an Error that windows failed to start... There were two options i.e Start System Repair and Start Windows Normally..Then i did every thing that can repair my computer with system repair... But it did not worked...When i Start Windows Normally ... It Shows a Blue Screen....It Disappeared in a fraction of a second...Then i recorded a video and frame by frame saw the error screen... It Showed Windows Is shutting down for no damage to your computer...I Really dont care of mine computer bcoz its a i3.. and i thought of safe mode ... to take backup of my games ... then the next time i switched on my pc .. I saw that it was working fine.But at random times mine pc makes a sound .. .that is never got before ... i am sure that it is not any othere sound but the processors sound ... The Sound is like Audi Q3 When at full speed ...
. I have 2 of them, one is a Western Digital Caviar Blue, about 2 years old I think. The second is a Western Digital as well, but I'm unsure of the type and age, it's a 150GB drive. One of these drives are making an odd noise, I suspect it's the main drive, the 500GB Caviar Blue. Reason being is because after starting up my system and selecting either Windows 7 or Windows XP it does a Disk Check before going to the Welcome screen, it does not do the Disk Check every time, but it happens quite often. Disk Check of course displays no issues upon completing. The thing I notice that happens, but not very often, it's about a 1 second kind of low screech noise coming from my computer tower. It is making me worried of my computer health and how much longer is might live.
my friend has a netbook and she will be playing any sort of sound, video ect... and it will freeze the whole computer. The sound starts to stutter loudly and eventually it ends up at the Blue Screen Of Death.Is this a virus? Do we have to take her netbook to a Techie person?

My laptop isn't even a year old and it started freezing and making weird noise. At first it didn't happen much and only happened when I was watching movies now it happens on everything I do about 4 times a day. sometimes it goes back to normal but then other times I have to press the power button and turn it off. I checked the fan and the fan seems to be fine. And I don't have a virus I scan the computer once a week.
I recently purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520 Laptop with 8GB RAM & Windows 7 Home Premium on 20th August 2012..For the whole time I have the laptop turned on at the top left side of the laptop I can hear repetative scratching / clicking sounds, Can someone please help me with this as i'm worried if I should get it fixed as soon as possible!
For the last week now my computer has been making a humming sounds that progressively gets louder. The strange thing is if I press my hand firmly on the side of the case the humming stops for a short time.
A week ago everything was running fine 3,4 days ago i notice that it is making much more noise than it should. It seems that it is CPU's fan's noise.Most probably dust is responsible for this.there is a lot of dust inside my CPU. This may hamper hardware badly(as i have seen in some websites). What should i do? can i solve this by my self or i need to go to computer repair shop.one argument that this sound is not of fan is that, If it is sound of fan then it should start blowing very fast with noise after opening computer for long time since it blows when processor warms. But one can say that fan is not in well working state so that's why it is making this much sound, After all these are my arguments.
Recently my 1tb hard-drive has starting making these low pitched grumbling noises almost like a vibration when its being accessed. I notice it most when I am defragmenting or gaming. It does not happen when I defragment my other hard drive.
I installed 3 days ago Windows updates and now my computer makes the infamous buzz when playing music. I tried deactivating all the unnecessary start-up programs but it keeps doing it. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 with native W7 and never had problems with the sound, it all just started after I installed these updates.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 14 laptop. A few days ago, I noticed that my laptop has become incredibly slow (the system will hang sometimes, and continue as per normal after a while), and this coincided with my laptop beginning to make this weird, sharp beeping sound. At first I did not pay much attention to it, but later this was joined by several BSODs, and my laptop became even slower (games that usually did not lag was now hanging halfway through, and continuing as per normal after a lengthy period of 1 minute or so). I tried to find the origin of the noise, and I think it came from my Internal hard drive sector, and thus decided to open the sector up (in hindsight I probably should not have). After I replaced it, without doing much (just doing the usual IT-amateur stuff, wiping it and blowing it a few times), my situation has now worsened to the point that startup takes a much longer time, and finally now it hangs at the "Starting Windows" screen, but without the Windows 7 logo showing, and my screen later turns black.
I bought this speakers a while ago for my older computer and recently i bought this new hp so im using them on my new hp desktop and ever since i bought the speakers they have allways made this high pitched noise .Now my HDD makes the same high pitched noise but not as loud as my speakers make it i feel like the speakers are just transmitting the sound tha the HDD is making but just alot louder?
I was working on an email Saturday when my Sony Vaio stopped working & flipped over to the black & white Vaio screen. Since then, I've been able to reboot it once, but it flips right back over to the Vaio screen. At one point, I was able to get to the Advanced Boot Options menu by hitting F8. I tried to restore to the last known good configuration. It got to the Windows logo screen, then went back to the Vaio screen, then went to the "Operating System could not be found" screen.The computer has a One Touch Web Access Without Booting Up feature.
My Vaio took a bang earlier today and now windows won't boot up and I'm just getting blank screens all the time. I can't even reset to factory as I can't access anything. Hard drive light is constantly on but can't hear much noise from it.
I have a Sony Vaio NS and I wanted to upgrape to Windows 7 RC Build. I was wondering would I have to install any drivers since I am upgraping and not clean installing?
