Hi,
I've got a Dell Dimension 4100 that I've had for about 3 years now. Its been working okay, but now when I start it up theres a kind of grinding/buzzing sound. It still boots up and everything, but in order to get the sound to stop I have to shut it off and turn it back on. Any idea whats causing this?

Thanks

I would think either power supply fan or heatsink fan is getting weary. You may have to open the case and try it to pinpoint the offending hardware.
