    Default Freaky Computer

    I am freaking out! My CPU keeps making all these weird sounds. And not bad, broken sounds, either. Initially I was hearing it ring like a phone every few minutes. But just now, it started making these crazy beeps like some cell phones, that old school tone thing. My computer is haunted!


    What the hell would make those noises in a computer? My bf just installed a gig of ram or something (not that I know what that means).. does ram make noise?

    No, RAM does not make noise.

    Are you sure this is a good time to be watching horror movies?

    If you are using a PC running some version of Windows, it could be your screensaver. Some of them have sound effects built in. I always found them to be more irritating and distracting than helpful, so I would just mute the computer unless I actually wanted sound for something.

    ^Well it was doing it while I was on the computer, so the screensaver wasn't running. I couldn't find any other programs in the background, and my bf hasn't heard it since he came home, so now he thinks I'm psycho.

    It's probably bc I have been watching scary movies all weekend

    My computer does it too!!! Every now and then it makes a loud BOING noise...like a spring. It obviously isnt a spring and is a sound bite...but I have no idea why it does it. And it isnt all the time...sometimes it goes days without making the noise,some days it does it every 10 minutes.

    Havent figured it out yet.

    if your cell phone is near your computer, it will cause it to make noises. Try moving your cell phone a little.
